ground on new Georgetown house
A groundbreaking ceremony
was held Saturday, April 15, at
I11 Albury Street in Georgetown
for the next Sussex County Habi-
tat for Humanity home. It is be-
ing built in partnership with Re-
nee and Russell Hickman Sr. and
their two children, Janara, 8, and
Russell Jr., 2. The ceremony be-
gan with a blessing of the site by
Roger HaOt " of the Dagsboro
Church-G0d, followed by the
introduci;i3ri of the partner family
by a memf the Habitat board
of directors.
The Hickman's new home will
be a one-story, three-bedroom,
one bath structure with about
I,I50 square feet of living space.
it is being built at the AIbury
Street address by volunteer work-
ers. Members of the Habitat con-
struction committee explained the
process of building a Habitat
home and pointed out that the
partner family will be required to
expend up to 500 hours of "sweat
equity" before the home is com-
pleted. Volunteers are needed to
help "with the construction of this
latest Habitat home. To volunteer
your services, call Volunteer
Committee member Bobbye Bar-
low at 945-7962. In addition to
being i'equired to expend 500
hours of sweat equity to help with
construction, the family first paid
a fee to file an application. 'q'his
project has made us feel good
about ourselves," said Renee.
"We're looking to the future, not
so much for us, but for our chil-
dren. With a new house they'll
feel a sense of permanency, espe-
cially with rooms they can call
their own." When the home is fin-
ished, the Hickmans will make a
down payment and assume a no-
interest mortgage. The money
they pay on the mortgage will be
added to a revolving resource,
called Fund for Humanity, used to
build additional homes.
