In her own words, here is Learner to Volunteer Tatiana Tikhmeneva's story:

Volunteer Experience
I want to tell
you about my volunteer experience. During my studying at San Mateo Adult School
and job searching process, I wanted to find an opportunity to volunteer. So, my
husband told me about Habitat for Humanity. His company donates money and sends
employees to help build houses. I decided to try. I applied for one of the
multi-house construction projects located in San Francisco and came on the
appointed day. There was a group of people like me, who wanted to help low
income people get a house. Together we made walls, did siding work, painted
houses and so on. I’m grateful to the professional builders who oversaw and
directed me and the other volunteers. They instructed us, corrected us and even
if we did something wrong, encouraged us.
Working on this
humanitarian project is not only necessary and helpful for society, but it also
was an opportunity for me to have a lot of fun and acquire very different
skills and work experience!
There will be
28 houses on that construction site. A lottery will be held between more than
400 families who will have a chance to live in one of those homes. It’s really a
great feeling when you know that you have done something to help people improve
their lives!
