Jimmy Carter’s 99th Birthday: Honoring Jimmy and Rosalynn
This year, on October 1st, 2023, we celebrate President Jimmy Carter’s 99th birthday. Each year since 1984, Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter have joined Habitat for Humanity to build homes and raise awareness of the need for home affordability.
Impact on Habitat for Humanity and the Carter Work Project
The inspirational couple continues to motivate millions of Habitat for Humanity volunteers. When President Jimmy Carter and his wife Rosalynn began working with our organization in 1984, they prompted a newfound awareness and increased engagement of our mission.
President and Mrs. Carter have been champions and groundbreaking voices for affordable, decent housing for all, donating their time and leadership each year to build and improve homes through Habitat’s Carter Work Project.
“A leader takes people where they want to go. A great leader takes people where they don’t necessarily want to go, but ought to be.” - Rosalynn Carter
“Till Death Do Us Part”
The former president and first lady live a fulfilling life together in love, even as they both battle health challenges. Jimmy Carter, 99, has been in hospice care for several months since February 2023, and Rosalynn, 96, has been diagnosed with dementia. Despite these health challenges, the couple remains holding hands, making memories, and providing a lasting impact on the world. They remain independent, living in their Georgia home. “He’s still opinionated, he’s still strong-willed, he’s still him. And that’s great to see,” says Jimmy’s grandson, Jason Carter (New York Times). Jason added, “They are together. They are at home. They're in love, and I don't think anyone gets more than that. I mean, it's a perfect situation for this time in their lives” (USA Today).
Though the former President is in hospice care, he is not struggling. He is simply receiving the care he needs to live out his days happily and healthily. Rosalynn remains in good spirits and high hopes despite her diagnosis.
It is a common misconception that the Carters started Habitat for Humanity. Though they did not create the organization, they have brought a newfound awareness to our cause and the importance of access to homeownership. Jimmy and Rosalynn have made an everlasting impact on Habitat for Humanity that will be recognized and remembered for decades to come.

Thỉnh thoảng mình cũng xem trước các phân tích trận đấu để hiểu thêm về phong độ đội bóng. Những trang tổng hợp lịch thi đấu và tỷ lệ thường khá tiện khi theo dõi bóng đá. Trong lúc tìm hiểu thông tin, mình có ghé Soi kèo và thấy dữ liệu trận đấu được cập nhật khá nhanh. Với mình, việc xem thêm các nguồn như vậy cũng khá hữu ích khi theo dõi bóng đá.
The topic of using familiar characters in preschool learning gives me a few things to think about, especially when the discussion moves beyond general advice. A familiar character can make a new classroom routine feel easier to approach. I would use that point as a starting question when considering preschool storytelling activities. I would be interested in a simple example, because it is often the ordinary details that make an idea memorable. How can a story character support learning while leaving children room to create?
789F mình ghé thử kiểu tiện tay thôi, vì thấy mọi người nói nhiều nên muốn xem giao diện nó ra sao. Vào trang cái là thấy tông màu nhìn sáng, chữ không bị rối, kéo xuống vài đoạn là nắm được họ sắp xếp nội dung theo từng khối khá rõ. Mình không thích mấy site nhồi chữ, nên kiểu chia phần gọn gàng như này nhìn đỡ mệt mắt. Có lướt qua đoạn nói về nạp/rút thì thấy họ nhấn mạnh xử lý nhanh với bảo mật, đọc vậy cũng yên tâm hơn chút dù mình chưa thử gì. Menu đặt mấy mục chính khá dễ thấy, bấm qua lại không phải tìm lâu, và các tiêu đề/khối…
Considering developing a reflective approach to learning, I keep coming back to the difference between knowing about an idea and putting it into practice. Looking back at a task can reveal which part was difficult and which strategy helped. Seen this way, reflective learning habits becomes a topic to explore rather than something to sum up too quickly. I do not have a settled view yet, but this seems like a good place to slow down and look more closely. How can reflection remain practical rather than becoming another form to complete?
Thinking about making health information easier to understand, I find the smaller practical questions more interesting than a quick conclusion. Plain language can help readers recognise what a health explanation does and does not establish. I would keep that thought nearby when looking for ideas about health information literacy. The part I would like to explore further is what happens when the idea meets a real situation with its own limitations. What makes a health information page understandable to someone without specialist knowledge?
