What a role model for our country. His legacy with Habitat for Humanity continues every day.

President Carter was and always will be my hero. I’ve had the privilege to participate in many work projects in Africa, Asia and the U.S., most of them with Habitat for Humanity and its international arm, Global Village. One of the most impactful and life-changing of those projects was in Nepal building homes with those in need of affordable housing. It was part of a Carter Work Project to build homes in the Himalayas, near Mt. Everest. Our resources were limited to mud, rocks, water, one very rudimentary hand pick and our hands. It was physically demanding, but one of the most psychologically and emotionally rewarding experiences of my life that changed me forever. Thank you, President Carter.

President Carter was the first president I was old enough to recognize, elected when I was a year old. I remember my dad coming home after meeting with President Carter and how excited I was. I always admired his dedication to service and hope my son who was born on President Carter’s 92nd birthday will be just as dedicated to service.

Thank you for showing the world what decency, faith, and belief in fundamental human rights looks like! My family (all US citizens) lived in Cuba and the Republic of Panama. We saw many dictators come and go through the power of revolutions or coups. Thank you for all of your good works after your Presidency! You are the shining light for all to see. I wish that more of our US politicians exhibited the character traits that you and your wonderful wife, Rosalynn, had.

Words alone can not express my praise for Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter for their commitment and dedication to providing affordable housing to thousands of people around our world. They have been true disciples of Jesus Christ. Their purpose in funding the organization of Habitat for Humanity is founded for their genuine love for their fellow spiritual brothers and sisters. I pledge to help fund this housing endeavor.

Living in Americus, you are bound to run into the Carters. I remember my first encounter with Jimmy and Rosalynn. I was a starving college intern at the Rylander Theatre working backstage in the shadows, and it had been a long day working on the Symposium. President Carter waved me over to them and shared their snacks with me. I will always cherish that moment. Thank you President and Mrs. Carter.

This man's legacy is greater than 400 characters, but I pray my few thoughts may add to a wider perspective. His contributions to the world perfectly illustrate the mission Christ charged us all to follow; give freely of yourself to all in an unfiltered, unfettered love, and do so without ceasing. After 100 years, may the Lord lay rest upon him, shine His light forever on him, and grant him peace.

Thank you, President Carter for being a shining example of servant leadership and what loving one's neighbor like thyself looks like. It was my honor and privilege to meet you on two occasions and to build with you in 2017 in Edmonton, Canada at that year's Jimmy & Rosalynn Carter Work Project. I'll never forget watching you at a home dedication hand a homeowner a Bible and then watch as you hugged that homeowner (as well as all others at the 47 homes being built!). There wasn't a dry eye to be found. May he rest in peace and may his memory be a blessing.

About five years ago, my grandson called to ask me some questions for his history class. One of the questions was, “who is your favorite president?” I told him Jimmy Carter. I truly believe he served his country to the best of his abilities, and after his presidency, he continued to serve, especially with Habitat for Humanity, which is an organization that my husband and I donate to. God bless him.

In 2002 in Cato Manor, north of Durban, President Carter together with 5000 volunteers from around the globe helped Habitat build 100 homes in 5 days. The Apartheid regime had forcibly evicted residents in 1954. President Carter was a significant participant in reversing this gross injustice. Well done good and faithful servant.

My favorite memory was going to the same church as President Carter. When I was 4 years old I excitedly told my parents, “I saw Jimmy!” after Sunday School.

Habitat lost one of its greatest ambassador, and the world mourns the loss of an extraordinary humanitarian. I had the privilege of serving as the volunteer executive director of the 1988 Jimmy & Rosalynn Carter Work Project in Atlanta. Over 1000 volunteers built 20 houses in one week, yet my fondest memory was witnessing President Carter work into the evening to finish our one laggard house in time for the finale.

I participated in an event organized by Habitat for Humanity in Seattle. The event was about building with those in need of a home. As the price of houses raise, there is not much affordable housing for new generation. It has become an issue not only for those with lower income, but for the youngsters who are the pillars of our society. Please continue the good work for our children.

My thoughts and feelings about President Jimmy Carter are not limited to any single event or encounter I may have had with this great man. I've never met him. I just remember arriving in the USA a couple of years before his election and seeing all the comments about the “peanut farmer” that clearly had a condescending connotation. When he failed to get reelected, lots of people wrote him off as a passing “fluke”, not realising that this was just an episode in a life that he, his wife, and family had dedicated to serving their country and mankind as a whole. I bow my head to a man who more than anyone else I can think of represents the AMERICA I've come to love. May his legacy inspire others to pursue the work he so diligently fulfilled until the very last moment of his glorious life! Thank you Mr. CARTER.
