We're here in Yea right now in Victoria
And I'm with One Heart from Sydney and Deepdene Uniting Church from Melbourne.
And basically, we've just been doing a lot of digging, sawing up pieces of wood, measuring it.
It involves a lot of team work, it's been really fun. So, I think there are about 25 houses that are going to be built today.
We've also been cleaning houses that have already been built
My name's Pauline Jo, I am from South Korea
[What] I'm doing here, I'm just cleaning the house inside, so the family can move in here to live.
I want to show God's love, because he gave me so much love.
And I really want to let the people know God's love through my work. I hope so.
I think one of the ways we can show God's love is through our actions.

It's going to be a lot of work but there are quite a few people here and the team work has been really good and stuff, so it's been a lot of fun.
There are people who have [experienced] natural disaster and they lost all their property and their houses, so they have no where to go.
So we're helping people. We are actually seeing the families, who have come and they are happy.
Well I'm David Lucas and this is Ryan my son and we have another one who's at daycare today, Toby.
We found out about Habitat, basically when we first came to look at this site, 3 years ago.
So I made contact with them in, probably, late 2009, and offered my services to help out and found out we were suitable to apply
we fit into the criteria to apply for them and we were lucky enough, we didn't think we had a chance really
And then we applied and we found out that we got one.
February this year, we had been accepted to have one of the homes and that's our home right behind us now.
We have a criteria that we need to do 500 hours of work on the project, whether it be on your place or another property here.
Look, all the people being here would be an absolute bonus to have everyone here doing all the work
At the moment we've only sort of had one home going so there's lots of people doing lots of work
And it's moving very quick, the days when everyone turns up, it moves very quick and we couldn't do it without it
Without everyone helping out, so it looks great we're all happy with it that's for sure.
[Host] What about you are you happy with your house? [Ryan] Yes(!)
[Host] Looking forward to moving in? [Ryan] Absolutely(!)
Yes, it's moving quick we're happy.
I think we're all here today because we have one common goal and I think that's just to help people.
And I really think that helping people is worth getting up for. I think that it's worth more than getting up for...
I think that it is our responsibility, I think, to help people that are less fortuante then ourselves and basically that's what Jesus did...
Jesus was very active and I think we should all be inspired by what Jesus did, and that is he went out and helped the poor and the sick.
I just think that we were made to do greater things for others rather than for ourselves
That we have a greater purpose.

What's worth getting up for me is to feel that drive. Some people have this passion this energy for something and they know 'this is what I want to do'.
Film making for me is that drive. I can spend all day and all night filming and editing - and I'm not going to get tired.
When people watch something, [that] you've put hours and hours of work into - it's just the best feeling in the world.
With God's help, I'm going to keep going. This drive is worth getting up for, it makes me, Rise
