Each day at Habitat for Humanity, we are touched by the depth and dedication of the homeowners and partner families with whom we serve. In seeking to give the children of those families an opportunity to share their stories, we held the 2008 Homeowner Youth Essay Contest. Homeowner youth 8 to 25 were asked to share: “What my Habitat home means to me.” Thanks to all the entrants for sharing your stories! Click the links below to read the winning essays.
