RALEIGH, N.C. – Terry Bradley, president of the Raleigh-Wake Human Resource Management Association (RWHRMA), has announced that she has volunteered for Habitat for Humanity to travel to a village near Lonavala, India from Oct. 28-Nov. 4 and work alongside former President and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Jimmy Carter and his wife, Rosalynn. Bradley will join more than 4,000 volunteers in building 100 homes as part of Habitat’s 23rd annual Jimmy Carter Work Project.

“Habitat for Humanity volunteers are at work around the world helping provide simple, decent housing in partnership with families in need,” said Bradley. “It is an honor to build with the former U.S. president and first lady, fellow volunteers and new homeowner families. This will be an experience of a lifetime.”
