The country's most tamous peanut farmer
came to Jacksonville Wednesday to lend his encouragement and building skills to Habqaxs efforts to build 100 houses in 17 days.

Each year since 1984, president Jimmy Carter has devoted a week to building with Habitat for Humanity. In that time, the annual Jimmy Carter Work Project has grown to involve thousands of volunteers building hundreds of houses.

Although many years have passed since the beginning of the JCWR the rewards have not diminished. 'God blesses us beyond ourexpectationsf Carter said. 'Its difficult for people like you and me who are rich to know how to share it Habitat, above any other organization I know on earth, gives us a chance to break through that shelI.'

Carter's sentiments were echoed in remarks by others volunteering at the build Wednesday.
