College students return to Asheboro to help Habitat for Humanity

ASHEBORO — Building a Habitat for Humanity home helps more than just the new homeowners. There are rewards for the volunteers as well.

Working on one of four new Habitat homes on McMasters Street in Asheboro last week were 15 students from the University of Georgia. It was the 26th year UGA students have spent their spring break in Asheboro.

Among them were Meghana Kottapalli of Lawrenceville, Ga., and Dominique Lowe of Covington, Ga. Both are juniors and both had returned for their second year of Habitat in Asheboro.

So why sacrifice an opportunity to spend time at the beach?
