WILSON BILLBOARD Students Spend Spring Break with Habitat for Humanity By Soo Jung Kim Eleven Wilson students and Chaplain Kate headed for Habitat for Humanity during Spring Break. They left for Delaware on Monday and came back on Friday. On the first day, they visited Philadelphia during the day and had orientation at night at the church where they stayed for the Habitatproject in Delaware. They started to build a house from the second day, by doing siding, digging, hammering, and installing insulation. From 8:00 am to 3:00 pm, they work ed; and during the rest of times, they had activities such as circle time, movie, and a meeting with future residents who will live in the house that students are helping to build for Habitat for Humanity.
SeonYoung Lim said, “My favorite work was insulation and hammering. Even though I had trouble on my skin and eyes due to the insulation, it was a really good experience.” Through circle time, they got to know each other and grew closer. On Friday morning, they had to leave early due to bad weather conditions, so they had the last circle time just before leaving. They gave each other nicknames by their characters of each other. “It was a really rewarding experience in America. I am really glad that the house which I built will remain in America even though I will leave America,” said TaeEun Kim, a Korean exchange student who was one of the participants.

“I like the challenge of cooking something historically authentic, and cooking for a crowd,” Ackerman said. “Former students who come by to see me still remember it.
