Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Habitat for Humanity

[Denise Meier (neesie]

Thanks, Stephan. Here's the deal. Ever since we went travelling in 1991, my
husband and I have had a plan to go back to Nepal with our daughter to live
for 6 months to a year and work in some way, probably volunteering with some
non-govermental organization. I've just found out that HFH does projects in
Nepal.  I admire their work very much, and as my husband is a builder, this
seems like a good fit.

What I'm trying to find out from a non-HFH person is - just how Christian an
organization is it? I'm happy that they are so motivated by their faith to
do good work, but we are Jews with a kind of pagan-Buddhist overlay,  and
I'm pretty leery of putting ourselves into a situation where Christian
theology is in our faces. I'm sure I can talk to HFH about it, but I thought
I'd try to get a feel from someone who has worked with them, first.

Thanks for any light you can shed.
