Connecting Sources

Iris Philips article, “Homeownership Impact on Habitat for Humanity Partner Families” is a very useful one for me when it comes to sources. It discusses much about Habitat all the way from what Habitat is and why it has started, to the impact it has on the home owners.  Since this article covers so much it happens to overlap with many of my other articles.  To begin, “HABITAT for HUMANITY” by Judy Watts connects in that it shares a family’s personal experience with receiving a house and how it changed their lives. Another article that supports the first is, “Creating High-Impact Nonprofits” by Heather McLeod Grant, and Leslie R. Crutchfield.  This relates in the fact that different practices of non-profit organizations, and different myths that many have about non-profit organizations.  These articles overlap by talking about the purpose and reasoning behind non-profit organizations, Habitat in particular.  Finally, “Making a Difference through Habitat for Humanity” by Joyce Davis and “Affordable Housing and Pro Bono” by  John J Ammann, both talk about the variety of volunteers that come from all over with different backgrounds to help build these houses.  These sources overlap with the first in that Habitat would not be able to make such a big impact on so many home owners life’s if it weren’t for the volunteers who help build the houses.
