This is a little late posting, but I had a wonderful opportunity to speak with Porterville College student about Financial Literacy to help them get started with their financial future. This was made possible by Habitat for Humanity and there amazing grant programs to help local communities clean up and build affordable housing. These students stepped up not only to help there community in clean up and to build a play house, they also stepped up to be financially independent and take their finances into their own hands.

Well done! I can't wait to see where these young adults take their lives. Thank you Habitat for Humanity for letting me speak to these students and for everything that you do in the community. of Tulare/Kings Counties
