Untitled Slide

• My company, habitat for humanity should expand to turkey. Giving people houses to those who don't have it, giving extra support to those who need it. It would be cool to expand to turkey because everything is already donated, and stuff like this doesn't happen to people in turkey. If the company expanded its one new house that could make a family very happy.
