Habitat for Humanity was founded in 1976 by Millard and Linda Fuller. The organization began in Americus, Georgia, with the mission to provide affordable housing by building and renovating homes in partnership with volunteers and families in need. Habitat for Humanity has grown into a global organization, operating in over 70 countries.
Jimmy Carter goes by that name. Garfield , Madison and Monroe were also named James, but were not commonly called Jimmy.
For a start, Jimmy Carter was a southerner & a moderate - in contrast to the Northern-based liberals. Carter was also in favour of cuts to pork barrel spending. His failure to do this did not endear him to many liberals in Congress. Carter also commenced the deregulation of the economy & brought in Paul Volcker to run the Federal Reserve.
The Habitat for Humanity movement was founded in 1976 in Americus, Georgia. The program developed from the concept of "partnership housing" where those in need of adequate shelter work side by side with volunteers from all walks of life to build simple, decent houses. P.S. I got that information from the actual site.
Millard and Linda Fuller started Habitat for Humanity to address the issue of poverty housing by providing affordable and decent housing for those in need. They believed in the concept of partnership housing, where volunteers work alongside homeowners to build their own homes, fostering a sense of pride and ownership.
Your church would be a good place to start. Habitat for Humanity and A Brush With Kindness are also looking for volunteers. http://www.habitat.org/getinv/volunteer_programs.aspx

It was during Jimmy Carter's term as president that both the presidents of Egypt and Israel sat and came to terms for the first time in history. (the Camp David Accords) It was unfortunately also when the Iranian Revolution toppled the Shah and imprisoned 52 US diplomatic personnel in Tehran (released January 21, 1981). It also included the start of the Iraq-Iran War. Earlier in Carter's term, the invasion of Afghanistan by the Soviet Union (December, 1979) led to a boycott of the 1980 Moscow Olympics by US athletes and those of other countries.
