Habitat for Humanity

Tuesday, March 2 – Today was my first day of working with the organization Habitat for Humanity. I went to their main office building in Yarmouth and I met some of the people who do the organizing for all the fundraisers and events that Habitat holds. I went there to help them with some of this office work because currently there are no functioning building sites on the Cape for me to attend. I was told that the building would resume in April and until them they needed help with office work and organizing Habitat applications. This became my job. I met with my supervisor Hilary and she set me up at a computer and gave me a stack of applications to process. It was not very exciting but I enjoyed it anyway because I learned a lot about the computer I never knew before and I felt this knowledge could come in handy later on. It was a good first day.

Tuesday, March 9 – Today was my second day of assisting the organization Habitat for Humanity with their office work. I went to the same building as before and met with my supervisor Hilary. She took me to the computer and gave me the pile of applications to process. She also showed me a few more things about the computer like what certain errors meant and the different codes I needed for some of them. I really learned a lot about the computer and I enjoyed learning it. I started processing the applications and I found that I was much quicker in getting them done now that I knew how to work the computer. I was pleased that I was improving my computer skills and work effort through this activity and I felt confident in my knowledge of the inner workings of Habitat for Humanity.
