NEW HOME, NEW HOPE FOR IQALUIT FAMILY

Iqaluit, Nunavut – Habitat for Humanity Iqaluit (HFHIQ) is very pleased to announce that a family has been selected for the new Habitat home being built in Apex this summer. Joanna Awa celebrated the news on Sunday with the first Global Village team to arrive in town. Volunteers delved right into work on her new home by starting to prepare piles for framing.

A new Habitat home for Joanna will enhance the situation of her daughter, Jenna, making life comfortable for both mother and daughter. Jenna, who is wheelchair bound, requires a home with minimal stairs and is wheelchair accessible. HFHIQ is making the adjustments and modifications to the house so that Jenna can spend more time at home with her family.
