K. Read the article. Choose T (true) or F (false)(9) Habitat for Humanity    Habitat for Humanity is an international or ganization that brings volunteers together to help change the lives and living conditions of people around the world. The goal of the organization is to help homeless families worldwide. Because of donations of money and supplies and the help of volunteers, Habitat for humanity houses are often built and repaired at very low cost.    To get started, poor and needy families apply to local programs to become"partner families" with Habitat for Humanity. Partner families may have to pay a down payment and monthly payments for their homes. but they also pay in "sweat equity". "Sweat equity" means that partner families have the responsibility of building and repairing their homes with the help of volunteers. So, partner families often spend many hours on the construction of their house and on houses for others families, too. In this way, partner families and volunteers from small groups, and individuals work together to buil and repair many new homes.    Many of the building materials are donated by construction companies, and no one gets paid for their work. Professional construction workers offer their skills to builds the foundation and the outside of the houses. Non-professional volunteers with no experience in housing construction learn skills from the professionals and work on the inside of the houses. In addition, all houses that are repaired and build are made to be more energy-efficient.    even though the central office of Habitat for Humanity is in Atlanta, Georgia, the organization has been building homes in more than 90 countries around the world. In each country, people work together to strengthen communities, to unite cultures, and to give opportunities for affordable homes to more than one million people worldwide.
