Habitat has been devoted to building "simple, decent, and affordable" housing, a self-described "Christian housing ministry," and has addressed the issues of poverty housing all over the world.
Prior To The Trip, Philip Got A Tetanus Shot And Bumped Into Kuching-Born Artist, Zee Avi, Who Recommended Them To Try Sarawak's Kolok Mee
When I asked about their preparations for the trip, Philip joked: "I got a (tetanus) shot, and that's about it. Late, apparently, too. They say it takes two weeks for it to kick in." Wesley said: "We try to stay healthy, and I tried to do some research on Kuching. Coincidentally, we met someone that was actually born there on the night we left for Singapore – Zee Avi. She recommended some food (for us) to get." Wesley added that the Malaysian singer/songwriter asked them to try the local dish, kolok mee.
Wesley Says He "Can Whisper Stories To All The Pieces Of Wood….". His Father Is A Woodworker.
So, what are their hopes for this building project, then? Wesley said: "I just want to make sure that we make something good, something that stays up."
"I can whisper stories to all the pieces of wood, so the house will have its own stories to tell," joked Wesley, whose father is a woodworker.
