LDS Youth Help out in North Carolina
LAURINBURG, NORTH CAROLINA -- Of the 200 youth attending the Fayetteville,
North Carolina Stake Conference, all of whom worked in service projects like
community cleanups and nursing home visits, 18 were sent to the Habitat
neighborhood, consisting mainly of houses built by Habitat for Humanity, for
a service project. There, the youth put up a wooden fence between the
community and nearby railroad tracks, Leader Lynn Bagley said the Church
seeks projects to work on each year, "We found lots of different ideas," he
said. Bagley adds that Habitat for Humanity's reputation led the leaders to
contact them, "We know what great work Habitat does and decided to contact
them." Bagley said.
