"For more than 25 years, Habitat World has featured news and information about Habitat's global efforts to bring safe, decent and affordable shelter to families," said Chris Clarke, Habitat for Humanity International senior vice president of Marketing and Communications. "With the growth in digital publishing, we are thrilled to be able to make news of Habitat's work more accessible, more frequently to our long-time readers and, we hope, many new ones."
The current issue of Habitat World looks back at family and volunteer stories from around the world over the past 35 years and discusses the making of The Carpenter's Gift, a children's picture book inspired by the annual donation of the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree to Habitat for Humanity.
The December issue also announces the 2011 winner and top four finalists in the annual Habitat World photo contest. Chris Sebilia of Austin, Texas, was awarded a volunteer opportunity in Haiti during Habitat's 2011 Jimmy & Rosalynn Carter Work Project for his photograph, "Concrete Break."
New issues of Habitat World will publish in January, March, May, July, September and December. The May, September and December issues will also be offered as print publications.
