Anybody can swing a hammer.
Doctors and rockers. Social workers and socialites. Lawyers and librarians. At the end of a long workday, when everybody's sweaty and dirty, sleeves rolled up, they all take a photo together – the front porch is a nice place –and everybody’s smiling.
Men, women. Spanish, Arabic, a Southern drawl. Immigrant, refugee, Omaha born and raised. Dreadlocks, ponytails, bald and ball capped. Everybody can swing a hammer for Habitat.
They each do it for their own reasons at first: to give back; to get some sun; to learn a new skill; just to come see what it’s all about. But at the day’s end, posing on the front porch for a photo, they all find something unexpected among a group of former strangers so different: new friends.
