Home clearly has a special place in Kaedan Rosman香蕉视频直播檚 heart. And sharing his thoughts has also helped make a home for others.
Rosman, 11, recently earned second place in the Genworth Canada Support for Habitat for Humanity contest, earning a $5,000 contribution to a Habitat for Humanity project, an iPod and a pizza party for his class at Shuswap Middle School.
With no Habitat for Humanity projects taking place in Salmon Arm, Rosman has directed his funds towards a Habitat for Humanity project in Kelowna, where his grandparents live.

Home is happy,
Home is for family

You take your first steps and make memories
Where love is on a flow,
It香蕉视频直播檚 where you grow
Somewhere you feel welcome it香蕉视频直播檚 where your friends come
Home is warm like wool
Home isn香蕉视频直播檛 cold like the north pole
Home is not perfect, it香蕉视频直播檚 imperfect
But it香蕉视频直播檚 magnified like a unicorn
Where you feel true,
Home is where we help you
Where you香蕉视频直播檙e safe from the world
Where you learn your first words
Home is where you play
Home is where you spend your day
Your family helps with things that are tough
Home is where you take your first breath
In the end home is a happy place.
