Experience inspires future plans continued from p.20 Sarah said it's a learning tool, too. "We also made a stop-motion video to go along with the book with a voice-over and someone reading it, so if you can't read well yet, you can watch it along with the book," she said. The siblings have been promoting the book through various channels like a TVO Kids book week appearance and have had an incredible learning experience on running a company. Eric said being part of the JA program has simulated what it would be like to run his own company and it has encouraged him to pursue business in post-secondary study. He said working with a team allows you to do "great things." "It's really been a great experience not only because of the book," said Sarah. "It really makes you realize that business isn't just all numbers and stuff. There's a huge creative aspect of it because to do great business, you've got to have a lot of creativity, good products and marketing." She said being part of the company has also helped her "come out of my shell and I think JA can do that for a lot of people, especially with this project."

An Adopt-A-Day is the team building experience you've been searching for.

We provide the training and tools, and our crew of experienced volunteers are there to guide you every step of the way. You're guaranteed to learn some new skills that you can take with you and maybe even use in your own home or apartment. When you spend a day working with Habitat, you're not just building a home, you're building new dreams and a brighter future for generations to come. Don't let eating lunch at your desk be the highlight of your day. Book your Adopt-A-Day team build now. We're currently scheduling dates in Milton and Burlington, and pre-booking dates for upcoming builds in Georgetown, Mississauga and our 21 unit townhome complex on Queensway Drive in Burlington. For more information and to book your build today, please contact Sandy Bartel, Senior Manager, Resource Development at 289-400-9459 or email sbartel@habitathm.ca. Adopt-A-Days are a big part of our building process here at Habitat. Every dollar you give to Habitat and our projects, including the Adopt-A-Day donation, goes right back into building homes in our community. As a 95% volunteer run organization, your contribution helps us keep the building costs down so we can build more homes this year than we've ever built before for families in need.
