Women Build House
Welcoming the Perez,
Onque and Solanki families to their American Dream
Wednesday, July 23rd dawned as a
sweltering, sultry summer day but nothing could dampen the
excitement and emotion surrounding the House Dedication
Ceremony that Raritan Valley Habitat for Humanity (RVHFH)
held to mark the completion of its latest building project
on Girard Avenue.
RVHFH President Dick Bedner began the
ceremony by pointing out that the new Habitat homes were
about much more than wood and nails; everyone who
participated in the project from the house sponsors to the
volunteers who hung sheetrock and pounded nails, was sharing
the gifts of faith and the comfort of hope for the future.
Deacon Ron Caimi of St. Matthias Church
provided the invocation and Franklin Twp. Mayor Brian Levine
followed with a welcome message for the Onque, Perez and
Solanki families. Kim Foley, Chairman and CEO of Foley,
Inc., a Signature Sponsor of the project, highlighted the
importance of corporate partnerships with organizations such
as Habitat that help to unite companies and their employees
with the communities in which they reside, to help those in
need.
The ceremony which marked the
dedication of RVHFH’s 28th, 29th, & 30th homes was a well
attended event and emotions ran high as each family spoke a
few words of gratitude just before receiving the keys to
their brand new homes. The Perez family summed up their
feelings by stating how they were living the “American
dream” and the Onque and Solanki families described how life
changing the process of building their own homes alongside
of so many committed volunteers from Foley and other local
companies, the Building on Faith Partnership, Habitat Youth
and the Women Build groups, truly was.
