Habitat for Humanity announces new home recipient
Yohannes Zerai got one of the best birthday presents ever, courtesy of Habitat for Humanity.
On Aug 21, Zerai’s birthday, it was publicly announced he and his family would be the next recipients of a Habitat for Humanity home in Prince Albert.
“We’re celebrating double, first my birthday, [and then] we’re digging for [the home],” Zerai said. “I can’t explain [how happy] I am.”
Zerai said he and his family were very happy to land in Canada, and he was thankful for the work the Government of Canada and Canadian citizens have done in looking after his family who emigrated from the African nation of Eritrea.
