On Sunday, May 18^th, 2008, Pamela Ulch's dream came true when she became the proud owner of her own home. In a dedication ceremony, she received the keys to her home from John Sillers, Executive Director of Houston County Habitat for Humanity (HCHFH). Pam, her family, and friends partnered with the Habitat affiliate to build several homes as well as hers.

Along with John Sillers, the ceremony's speakers included Kathy Cripe, President of the HCHFH Board of Directors and the Reverend Kay Yates, Pastor of Faith Evangelical Lutheran Church, also a member of HCHFH Board of Directors. It was a memorable day for Pam Ulch and she expressed her appreciation, "Thank you to all who worked to build this house. Without you I could never have realized my dream to own my own home. Thank you does not come close to expressing how much I appreciate what you have done for my family and me."

Designated the "Building on the Dream" home, construction on the house on Orchard Way in Warner Robins began right after Dr. Martin Luther King Day in January. "Building on the Dream" honors the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. by encouraging people to volunteer with their local Habitat for Humanity affiliate to build houses and raise awareness of the need for adequate housing in their communities. Dr. King dreamed of a world where all peoples and nations would triumph over poverty, racism, war and violence. Millard Fuller, founder of Habitat for Humanity, dreamed of a world where everyone, everywhere, lives in safe, decent and affordable housing. This house and "Building on the Dream" are destined to keep both visionaries' dreams alive.

Union Grove Missionary Baptist Church was the affiliate's co-sponsor to build the home and nearly 100 volunteers from across the community worked with Pam and her family to build the home.
