And we were going to build one home<\/em>. At the time I thought, \u2018What difference will this make? How do you tackle such an overwhelming need?\u2019\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Upon meeting the eventual homeowner, her daughter, and grandchildren, Bob soon learned that their work in that one week would make a life-changing impact for the family.<\/span><\/p>\n

He\u2019d considered the impact they would make on the family of the house, but did not comprehend the impact that the people and volunteering would have on him, saying: \u201cMy goal is not to be better than anyone else, but to be better than I used to be.\u201d Read more.
