 My name is Carmelita Limas and this is my American story. I actually did three years of AmeriCorps and during that time I was able to work for Habitat for Humanity. When I showed up on the site there was a hole in the ground and by the time we left there was a house and a woman could sweep her floor for the first time and she just started crying and we all hugged her and it was just a moment that is burned in my memory.
