partnership of national and international volunteers provides great
support for Habitat
Delta has
supported Habitat for Humanity for more than 20 years, and strengthened
the partnership in 2006 when the airline unveiled the first 767-300
featuring a unique Habitat for Humanity livery and a Delta "Force for
Global Good" decal. This is Delta's sixth international build with Habitat for Humanity. Delta employees from around the globe use vacation time and pay a portion of their expenses to volunteer on the international builds and help those in need of simple, decent and affordable housing, while also taking the opportunity to know more about the country and its culture. |
