About the Jimmy & Rosalynn Carter Work Project
President and Mrs. Carter are Habitat for Humanity’s most famous volunteers and have
given a week of their time every year for the past 27 years to help Habitat build homes and
raise awareness about the need for affordable and decent housing. The Jimmy and Rosalynn
Carter Work Project is the most significant and widely recognized Habitat for Humanity
annual event. JRCWP will launch in Washington on World Habitat Day, October 4, as part of
a worldwide effort to highlight the need for stable communities and healthy housing. More
than 1,000 volunteers from across the country will build and renovate homes in partnership
with low income families during the week-long project in Washington, D.C.; Baltimore and
Annapolis, Maryland; Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota; and Birmingham, Alabama.
This year Habitat for Humanity International highlights the Neighborhood Revitalization
Initiative (NRI), which aims to support Habitat affiliates in serving more families by
responding to community needs with an expanded array of products as part of community
development that enhances quality of life. Habitat affiliates and their partners will decide
on the work carried out locally, but the initiative’s services may include new house
construction, rehabilitation of vacant properties (including foreclosed properties), house
repairs for existing low-income homeowners, weatherization to make houses more energy-efficient and affordable, and community planning partnerships to ensure more services
are available to further stabilize communities. NRI not only helps more families attain
affordable housing, but has the broader impact of building better communities.
We are also celebrating the establishment of the Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Fund this year,
enabling supporters to honor President Carter and his wife’s nearly 30 years of commitment
and service to Habitat’s mission. A percentage of this year’s JRCWP sponsorship
contributions will go toward establishing this fund.
“I would say it has made all of us volunteers
more broad-minded, less inclined toward
being prejudiced against people who are
different from us in color or income or
nationality or faith... And I think that’s one of
the major attributes of Habitat that’s quite often
overlooked.”
~ President Jimmy Carter

About Gallaudet University
Did you know that Gallaudet University is the only university in the world that designs all
programs and services to accommodate deaf and hard of hearing students? The University
was founded in 1864 by an Act of Congress, and its’ charter was signed by President
Abraham Lincoln. Habitat for Humanity of Washington , D.C. is honored to work closely
with Gallaudet University on the JRCWP this year. Interpreters will be available at all
JRCWP events.
Amenities
There is a 24 hour business center located in the main lobby of the Kellogg Center. A fitness
center is available for all hotel guests from 6:00 am-9:00 pm. Breakfast will be available for
Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Work Project hotel guests beginning at 5:45 am on Monday,
October 4th, and 6:00 am Tuesday-Friday October 5th-8th. There is a range of dining options
available at all other hours. See the Transportation section in this program for details about
parking and getting to and from Gallaudet’s campus.
Sustainable Initiatives
Kellogg Conference Center is among the Washington area hotel and conference centers
most committed to limiting their environmental footprint. A few of their sustainable
practices include using organic and local produce, 100 percent recyclable paper inserts and
hand-outs and an in-house recyclable water filtration plant.
Special Thanks to Gallaudet University
We offer our gratitude to the Gallaudet staff and students for their commitment to ensuring
the Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Project 2010 D.C. makes the deepest impact possible. From
the professionalism of their staff to the willingness of students to take time away from class
to participate on the build sites, Gallaudet as a community has demonstrated a culture of
going above and beyond the call of duty. Gallaudet University has been one of the longest
running employers of Ivy City Residents, and we look forward to future partnerships to
improve the quality of life in and around Ivy City.

About Habitat for Humanity of Washington, D.C.
Better Built Together
An affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International, Habitat for Humanity of Washington, D.C.
believes that everyone deserves a house they want to call home. That is why we work to
eliminate poverty housing and homelessness in the nation’s capital by building affordable,
energy-and resource-efficient homes for people in need. DC Habitat builds and rehabilitates
homes in order to sell them to families who are ineligible for conventional financing.
Working alongside neighborhood members on
restoration, weatherization and beautification projects,
and offering no-profit, no-interest, twenty-five year
mortgages for its buyers, prospective homeowners
make a $500 down payment and contribute 300
hours of sweat equity towards construction of their
own home. Mortgage payments on completed homes
are reinvested in a revolving Fund for Humanity to
finance further construction and the acquisition of
additional properties and building materials. We are
delighted to host this exciting event in Washington,
D.C. this year, as we celebrate World Habitat Day.
“We are thrilled that the Carters
will join us in D.C. on October
4,” said Kent Adcock, President
of Habitat for Humanity of Washington, D.C. “As a result of this
effort, at least 10 local families
will have better housing conditions in the District.”
Building for a More Sustainable City
Since 1988, DC Habitat has provided more than 200 families with new or rehabilitated
homes with the help of nearly 4,000 volunteers each year. The emphasis is on complete
community revitalization.
Habitat’s ultimate goal is to bring all of its vast resources and partnerships together to
transform and revitalize each area into a sustainable community. Habitat will use a specific
scope, scale and expertise to become a leader of community stabilization activities in the
nation, expanding its participation in the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s
(HUD) programs to rehabilitate and repair vacant and foreclosed properties, engaging
the Department of Energy and utilities in the “greening” of affordable housing, and
incorporating other public funding sources will help enhance neighborhood revitalization
efforts. DC Habitat continues its commitment to green, sustainable building throughout
the construction of the Ivy City neighborhood. DC Habitat will build to the guidelines
of Earthcraft Home Gold Level in addition to the criteria set forth by Enterprise – Green
Communities Criteria. As DC Habitat builds in Ivy City it will deepen its green footprint by
incorporating as many new sustainable building techniques that are possible from Passive
House Design to ground-air heat exchange systems technology. DC Habitat will strive to
show that even in our Nation’s Capital, where housing costs are among the highest, that
affordable and sustainable housing is possible.

Ivy City Development
It is one of the city’s oldest, smallest and least known communities – and home to a collection
of houses dating back more than one-hundred years. Along its triangular borders are the
Amtrak Ivy CityYard/NewYork Avenue NE, Gallaudet University and the Mt. Olivet Cemetery.
A largely industrial neighborhood in the central portion of Northeast Washington, Ivy
City has long faced great challenges. Being one of the few early employers of African
Americans, the railroad industry shaped the economic climate of Ivy City. Many black
residents came to call Ivy City home. Post World War II Ivy City’s economic welfare declined
along with the railroads. In the 1980s open-air drug markets and prostitution were rampant
in Ivy City, leading to an exodus of nearly one third of the ward’s population throughout
the 1990s, and leaving a scene of desolation in its wake. The scene on the ground today
reveals abandoned and dilapidated homes, buildings and warehouses, empty parking lots
and visible poverty and crime; it also shows early signs of gentrification, social change and
community mobilization.
Why Ivy City Needs our Support:
 Average family income is $18,000 – less than 20 percent of DC’s median family
income
 Only about 12 percent of the neighborhood’s residents are currently homeowners
 Its population decreased by nearly a third in the 1990s and 2000s
 Its poverty rate is 44 percent and the number of food stamp recipients is twice the
average for DC neighborhoods
 Ivy City’s unemployment rate is nearly 20 percent and approximately 40 percent of
the neighborhood’s adults do not have a high school diploma.
 DC Habitat will be joined by several partners in the redevelopment of Ivy City,
including the DC Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD),
MissionFirst and SamariCorps
DC Habitat began initial construction in Ivy City as part of Habitat for Humanity’s
Neighborhood Revitalization Initiative in early summer 2010. Plans are drawn for at least 6
single-family homes and 2 rehab condos on Providence Street in Northeast DC. Additionally,
DC Habitat will take its A Brush With Kindness (ABWK) program to Ivy City, providing house
painting and other exterior renovations to existing homeowners in the neighborhood.
Habitat for Humanity of Washington, D.C. is partnering with other community-based
housing developers to transform this neighborhood into a safer, healthier place to live. DC
Habitat is one of four developers that were awarded land grants from the District, along
with funds from the first round of the Neighborhood Stabilization Program, to produce
more than 50 units of mixed income housing in the Ivy City community.

Important Notice About Your Safety
The link between crime and poverty is no secret, thus crime rates in Ivy City slightly exceed
those of more affluent sections of the city. We encourage you to avoid traveling alone when
possible, and to prioritize your safety, as well as respect for the people of Ivy City. There will
be increased security around Ivy City during all scheduled Carter Project Build hours. There
are 24-hour emergency blue phones around the Gallaudet campus. If at any time you feel
threatened please notify a Habitat for Humanity of Washington, D.C. representative and/or the
authorities immediately.
United Nations World Habitat Day 2010
According to the United Nations, more than 100 million people in the world today are homeless,
while millions more who face severe housing problems live without adequate sanitation or
security and with irregular or no electricity supply. Habitat for Humanity would need to build
2 million homes per year for the next 50 years to solve the present worldwide housing crisis.
Because of growth trends, there would still be a need for 1 billion more houses at the end of
those 50 years.
The United Nations has designated the first Monday of October every year as World Habitat
Day. The idea is to reflect on the state of our towns and cities and the basic right for all to
adequate shelter. It is also intended to remind the world of its collective responsibility for the
future of the human habitat.
Recognizing adequate shelter as a basic human right, housing for families in poverty is about
much more than shelter; it is a vital component of the foundation for healthy communities.

Housing improves health
Housing has positive impacts on children
Homeownership builds wealth
Housing strengthens communities
The United Nations chose the theme Better City, Better Life to highlight our collective vision of
a sustainable urban world that harnesses the potential and possibilities, mitigates inequalities
and disparities, and provides a home for people of all cultures and ages, both rich and poor.
For additional information please visithttp://www.unhabitat.org.
The former U.S. President and First Lady cherish house
dedications most of all. They are often overcome,
they say, gathered together with fellow volunteers,
their tears reflecting the joy and hope of what is
essentially a sacred exchange. After hours of hard
work and moments of cordial collaboration, new
homeowners open their hands to receive a key that
has the power to unlock a different, dreamed-of future.
“That just does something to your soul,” says Mrs.
Carter.

JRCWP 2010 D.C. Ivy City Homeowner Family Profiles
House #1
Endalkachew Haile
‘Owning a house is very important’
Endalkachew Haile and his wife, Dagmawit Belete, came to Washington, D.C. three years ago, hoping
to find a better life in America than in their native Ethiopia. In October, one investment in their
American dream will become real, as construction begins on their own home in Ivy City.
Haile, 34, is an airport baggage handler and Belete, 32, is a cashier at Whole Foods. Until their house
is built, the two will continue to share a small one-bedroom apartment in Northwest Washington
with their infant son, Tinsae. For nine months, they have been paying nearly $1,000 a month in rent
for this vermin-infested apartment with faulty electrical wiring, a leaky window-unit air conditioner
and a radiator that doesn’t work. “Owning a house is very important,” Haile said. “This place is
not comfortable.” In the summer, the whole family often sleeps in the living room—the only airconditioned place in the apartment. And in the winter, the bathroom is the only warm room, Haile
said. Beyond the basic lack of comfort, the apartment also poses serious health risks to the young
family. Haile cites problems in the unit ranging from leaky pipes and faulty plumbing to cockroaches
and rats. “Sometimes we don’t have electrical power,” Belete added. “And there are thieves in the
neighborhood.”The sparsely furnished, bright white apartment is immaculate, but Belete’s frustration
is obvious at the limits of good housekeeping in a substandard building. The family’s new Habitat
home will be a far better place for a baby.
House#2
Donna Hines
‘This is what I’ve been working for’
Donna Hines, 34, has been a medical office manager for 10 years in Washington, D.C. She and her
two sons—Chelton, 17, and Chaheed, 13—have lived for 12 years in a two-bedroom apartment in a
public housing high-rise.“You’re never safe,” Hines said, citing a high crime rate, a rodent infestation
and unsanitary surroundings. “I think my kids deserve better.” By the time the house is finished,
Hines will have a new baby daughter. Also, her 16-year-old nephew, Dayquan Kelly, will be living
with them. What will a house mean to this close-knit family? “Oh, Lord,” Hines said, struggling for
words. “It will mean a place for my kids to be raised and come home to.” Oldest son Chelton will be
on his way to college next year, and his cousin Dayquan will go the following year. Chelton aspires
to be a doctor, and younger brother Chaheed wants to be a math teacher. Hines runs a tight ship at
home, giving the kids regular chores and keeping the two-bedroom apartment as clean and livable as
possible. Ultimately, though, she knows she can’t protect her family from all the problems inherent
in an aging, high-rise public housing complex. “There have been a few murders—in the alley right
here, in the stairway, in the hallways,” Hines said. “It’s always something. Always something.
Hines applied to Habitat on the advice of Kiona Mack, a neighbor in public housing who works in the
leasing office and had recently been selected to be a Habitat homeowner. “She gave me the number
to call, but I was like, ‘I don’t know. People who work as hard as I do don’t usually get help. You have
to be extremely poor or extremely wealthy to really get somewhere in D.C. “But she said, ‘No, trust
me. Habitat is different. ” Hines and Mack attended homeowner classes together, and will soon be
living as neighbors in Ivy City. “This is what I’ve been working for,” Hines said. “I just think my boys
deserve much better than this cramped apartment and this living situation. If they’re exposed to
something a little more positive, a little more space, new people, new positive people … it will make
a big difference. “I see big changes, good changes coming.”

House #3
Kiona Mack
‘Such a good feeling to have your own home’
Kiona Mack, 28, is an administrative assistant for a company that manages the federally subsidized
Tyler House Apartments in Washington, D.C., where she lives with her two children: Arnez, 7, and
Arreona, 3.
“It’s kind of calm in the daytime, but at night I don’t let my kids go out at all,” Mack said. “It’s a
dangerous environment. You don’t know what can happen.” On October 4th, a crew of volunteers
including former U.S. President Jimmy Carter and his wife, Rosalynn, will begin building a new
home for the Mack family in Ivy City. “It’s going to mean a whole lot,” said Arnez, a third-grader.
“We’re going to have a house, and I get to play in a yard.” Mack, who grew up in D.C., does the best
she can to keep her kids healthy and happy in a depressed urban environment.
“I try to keep Arnez in sports,” she said. “Monday through Friday, we’re at football practice from 6
to 8 p.m. And Arreona even gets a chance to play on the field with other little girls. “When football
season is over, we have to worry about finding something else to do,” she said. Arnez is a good
student and a football star at school. Last season, he won three trophies for being an outstanding
defensive player. He also excels at basketball, and aspires to play professionally when he grows up.
Little sister Arreona is entranced by Dora the Explorer, whose likeness appears on all sorts of toys
stacked neatly in the family’s small living room. “I like Boots,” the toddler said, referring to Dora’s
loyal sidekick monkey. Arnez and Arreona may be too young to appreciate all the details of getting
a home that will be built with the hands-on help of a former U.S. President and First Lady. But their
mother is very clear about what a special experience this year’s Carter Work Project will be for her
family. “I’m very excited to meet the Carters,” Mack said. “And it’s such a good feeling to be able to
say you’re going to have your own home.”
House#4
Andargachew Negash
‘Moving to a new life is exciting’
Andargachew Negash is a part-time taxicab driver and a full-time chemistry student in Washington,
D.C., working toward becoming a pharmacist. His wife, Bezawork Bedane, is a home health care aide
and also takes care of their three children: daughters Loredana, 12, and Meron, 4; and son Samuel,
3. Originally from Addis, Ethiopia, Negash and Bedane have been in the United States for nearly a
decade. They have been living in a cramped two-bedroom, insect- and rodent-infested apartment,
waiting for construction to begin on their three-bedroom house as part of the 2010 Jimmy & Rosalynn
Carter Work Project.“ Moving to a new life is exciting,” said Negash. “We will be moving to a better
space—more space and more security.”
The family’s new home will have three bedrooms, which will allow Samuel to have his own room.
His sisters will share a room. “Meron wants a purple room, but I want a pink room,” Loredana said,
smiling. “We’ll work it out.” Loredana just began seventh grade. An excellent student, she loves
science and dreams of becoming either a scientist or a doctor. When she’s not helping to take care
of her young siblings, she is a member of the school choir and also plays basketball and soccer.
The family has been in the United States for nine years, and they currently pay almost $1,000 in
rent. With a mortgage payment expected to be about $700, Negash and Bedane will have more
disposable income to plan a future. “It’s pretty tough out there,” Negash said, adding that he has to
spend twice as much time driving his taxi nowadays to make half as much as he used to earn. He is
most focused on his schoolwork and trying to get into a good pharmacy school. “My priority is to
further my education,” he said, “so my family has a better future.”

Norma Gales
‘This house is going to mean a new start’
Norma Gales, 46, has been a preschool teacher in Washington, D.C., for eight years, overseeing a
classroom full of 16 children between the ages of 3 and 5. “It’s a challenging age,” she said, smiling.
For five years, Gales has rented an aging apartment on K Street through the D.C. Housing Authority.
Her rent has fluctuated between $295 and $746, making it nearly impossible to budget her money
wisely and make ends meet. “I’m living paycheck to paycheck,” she said. “It’s hard to keep up.”
In October, construction begins on her new Habitat home in Ivy City, part of the 2010 Jimmy &
Rosalynn Carter Work Project. Once the home is completed, Gales will be paying a stable mortgage
that she can afford. She will share the three-bedroom house with her 13-year-old daughter, Tiara.
Her 19-year-old son, Davon, who just started college in West Virginia, will be home for holidays and
summer vacations. (Her eldest son, Lorenzo, 24, lives on his own.) Tiara is a special needs student
who struggles with learning disabilities and behavioral issues. She has been attending a residential
school in Pennsylvania, receiving professional treatment, but will be home by the time construction
begins on their new house. “This house is going to mean a new start, where we can grow better
together,” Gales said. “My kids know how hard I’ve strived to get where I am today.” Gales is going
to try to line up a substitute teacher for the whole week of the Carter Work Project, so she can be in
Ivy City for all the excitement as new homes start rising in the historic neighborhood.“I want to be
right there on that site,” she said. “I want to help build my own house.”
House #6
Shawanna Davis
‘I feel complete’
Shawanna Davis said it’s very simple why she worked so persistently to partner with Habitat for
Humanity of Washington, D.C. “My kids. Always, that’s it,” she said. “They are phenomenal kids
and they deserve a house to grow in. They made me stick with it until I got a ‘yes.’” Davis’ oldest
daughter, Zenniah, is 14. She has been a diligent student at Washington’s KIPP School, and recently
earned a scholarship to study at the respected Sandy Springs Friends School in nearby Maryland.
“If I could give her the world, I would,” Davis said of her daughter. “I’m in awe of her maturity and
her responsibility. She helps with her 3-year-old brother, she helps with the whole family. She’s
just fantastic.” And Davis says the same goes for her other children, Zykeah, 10, and Tarvis, 3. Both
Zenniah and Zykeah are especially interested in dance, everything from ballet and tap to modern
dance and hip-hop.
What is Tarvis into? “What is he not into is the real question,” Davis said with a laugh. The family
currently rents a two-bedroom apartment in southeastern Washington. “It’s pretty crowded where
we are now,” Davis said. “And we’ve had to deal with our share of break-ins where we live and to
our car.”
A medical assistant at a Women’s Health Clinic, Davis has already been volunteering on weekends
in the Ivy City neighborhood she will soon call home. During her first Saturday working on a Habitat
worksite she helped frame windows. She was impressed with those helping Habitat build and
renovate homes in the community: “I love it, I love it, I love it. It’s such a positive atmosphere. The
volunteers are just above and beyond anything you can imagine.” And for Davis, it all comes back
to her children. “I feel complete now,” she said. “It’s hard not to be able to provide a home for your
kids. Sometimes, you feel like a failure. It just means so much to be able to do this. The work that
goes into it? That’s nothing. This is a blessing.”

Tarneisha Whitehead
‘So proud to be a homeowner’
Tarneisha Whitehead, 37, recently moved back into her childhood home on Anacostia Avenue in
Washington, D.C., where her parents still live. Whitehead and her 12-year-old daughter, Ebony, were
eager to leave the apartment complex where they had spent the past decade. “My car has been
vandalized a couple of times,” Whitehead said. “Even in my building, sometimes when we go in and
out, there are people hanging out selling drugs. They put in a security system, where you have to
punch in a code. But one guy kicked that in, and now they don’t even secure it anymore. “Ebony’s
getting older,” she added. “It was just time to go. It was time to go.” Construction may take up to a
year, but they’ve already started picking out paint colors and putting furniture on layaway, paying
a little at a time until it’s theirs. “I’m excited about it all,” Whitehead said. “I’m excited to learn new
things, to be a homeowner, to get to know all my neighbors, to buy furniture on layaway. I’m excited
about everything.” “I will be so proud to be a homeowner. I just can’t wait. I can’t even wait to do my
300 hours of sweat equity. I cannot wait!”
Whitehead is a patient access associate at Howard University Hospital, while Ebony attends a charter
school on campus. The seventh-grader already has a lofty career goal: “I want to be a Supreme
Court Justice,” she said. Ebony, who practices tae kwon do in her spare time, is in her school’s high
achievement program, which gives good students all the tools they need to get into top colleges.

Release and Waiver of Liability
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!
THIS IS A LEGAL DOCUMENT THAT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS!
This Release and Waiver of Liability (the “Release”) is executed on this ___ day of _______________,
20___, by ____________________________, (the “Volunteer”), in favor of Habitat for Humanity
International Inc., a nonprofit corporation existing under the laws of the State of Georgia,
USA, Habitat for Humanity of Washington, D.C., and any other Habitat for Humanity affiliated
organizations, the District, and their directors, officers, trustees, employees, volunteers and
agents (collectively, “Habitat and Partners”).
I, the Volunteer, desire to work as a volunteer for Habitat and Partners and engage in the activities
related to being a volunteer (“Activities”). I understand that my Activities may include but are
not limited to the following: working in the Habitat for Humanity offices or Habitat for Humanity
ReStore operations; traveling to and from work sites, towns, cities or countries; consuming food
available or provided; living in housing provided for volunteers; constructing and rehabilitating
residential buildings; and other construction-related activities.
I, the Volunteer, hereby freely, voluntarily and without duress execute this Release under the
following terms:
Release and Waiver. I, the Volunteer, do hereby release and forever discharge and hold harmless
Habitat and Partners and their successors and assigns from any and all liability, claims and
demands of whatever kind or nature, either in law or in equity, which arise or may hereafter
arise from my Activities with Habitat and Partners.
I understand and acknowledge that this Release discharges Habitat and Partners from any
liability or claim that I may have against Habitat and Partners with respect to any bodily injury,
personal injury, illness, death or property damage that may result from my Activities with
Habitat and Partners, whether caused by the negligence of Habitat and Partners or their officers,
directors, employees, agents or otherwise. I also understand that Habitat and Partners do not
assume any responsibility for or obligation to provide financial assistance or other assistance,
including but not limited to medical, health or disability insurance in the event of injury, illness,
death or property damage.
It is the policy of Habitat for Humanity that children under the age of 16 are not allowed on
a Habitat for Humanity work site while construction is in progress. It is further the policy of
Habitat for Humanity that, while children between the ages of 16 and 18 may be allowed to
participate in construction work, ultra hazardous activity such as using power tools, excavation,
demolition or working on rooftops is not permitted by anyone under the age of 18.
Medical Treatment. I, the Volunteer, do hereby release and forever discharge Habitat and
Partners from any claim or action whatsoever which arises or may hereafter arise on account
of any first aid, treatment or service rendered in connection with my Activities with Habitat and
Partners.
AND
EVENT PROGRAM
31
If the Volunteer is less than 18 years of age (a “minor”), the Volunteer and the parents having
legal custody and/or the legal guardians of the Volunteer (the “Guardians”) also hereby release
and forever discharge Habitat and Partners from any claim whatsoever which arises or may
hereafter arise on account of the decision by any representative or agent of Habitat and Partners
to exercise the power to consent to medical or dental treatment as such power may be granted
and authorized in a Parental Authorization for Treatment of a Minor Child.
Assumption of the Risk. I, the Volunteer, understand that my Activities may include work that
may be hazardous to me, including, but not limited to, the following: construction; loading and
unloading; travel to and from the work sites; and exposure to lead and mold, which may cause
or worsen certain illnesses, especially if I do not wear protective equipment, am exposed for
extended periods of time, or have a pre-existing immune system deficiency.
I also understand there is some inherent risk in consuming local foods and living in local
accommodations in the city(ies) or country(ies) visited. I further understand I may be traveling
to and from locations where there is a risk of terrorism, war, insurrection, criminal activities,
inclement weather or other circumstances that could threaten my health or safety. I also
understand that it is the policy of Habitat and Partners to not pay ransom or make any other
payments to secure the release of hostages.
I hereby expressly and specifically assume the risk of injury or harm in the Activities and release
Habitat and Partners from all liability for any loss, cost, expense, injury, illness, death or property
damage resulting directly or indirectly from the Activities.
Insurance. I, the Volunteer, understand that, except as otherwise agreed to by Habitat and
Partners in writing, Habitat and Partners are under no obligation to provide, carry or maintain
health, medical, travel, disability or other insurance coverage for any Volunteer. Each Volunteer
is expected and encouraged to obtain his or her own health, medical, travel, disability or other
insurance coverage.
Photographic Release. I, the Volunteer, do hereby grant and convey unto Habitat and Partners
all right, title and interest in any and all photographic images and video or audio recordings
made by Habitat and Partners during my Activities with Habitat and Partners, including, but
not limited to, any royalties, proceeds or other benefits derived from such photographs or
recordings.
Other. I, the Volunteer, expressly agree that this Release is intended to be as broad and inclusive
as permitted by the laws of the State of Georgia, USA, and that this Release shall be governed
by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia, USA. I further agree that
in the event any clause or provision of this Release shall be held to be invalid by any court of
competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such clause or provision shall not otherwise affect the
remaining clauses or provisions of this Release, which shall continue to be enforceable. Further,
a waiver of a right under this Release does not prevent the exercise of any other right.
