Later that month,Claps6a group consisted of23 youths from South Korea joined and helped the Global

Vi l lage program as wel l . In th isGlobal Vi l lage, they also helpedbui ld two houses.

One of the houses wasowned by Set ia Budi Sembir ing(45) and his wife Suminem brGint ing (46) who are farmers aswel l . The two support theirthree sons with an income ofIDR 1,500,000/month (aboutUSD 130/month) . Budi and Suminem orig i-nal ly l ived in a house that wason st i l ts for approximately 22years . I t was a very s implehouse with a thatched roof,wal ls , and a wooden f loor. Sincethere is no electr ic i ty for l ight-ing in the area, the family wouldrely on candles. They sent theirchi ldren to school but only up toHigh School , which they arealready grateful for . Budi and Suminem needfor a good dai ly l i fe and school

expenses were ranked muchhigher than their need for adecent home, which wasthought l i t t le of . After Habitat

Condit ions atthe housewere at i tsworst : the

c o c o n u tleaf roofand thew o o d e nw a l l sleakedconstant ly ,which weree s p e c i a l l yu n f o r t u n a t eduring therainy season.As f armers, i twas impossib lefor them to bui ld anew house out of theirown savings, but their painwas al leviated when they werechosen to be one of the famil iesthat Habitat Indonesia funds tobui ld . This was a dream tothem. Upon viewing her houseEmitabita commented, I neverhad a dream to have a new

house, because for us, i t isenough i f we can fulf i l l our dai lynecessit ies. Pranki added witheyes ful l of tears of happiness,
