Building Homes, Building Hope: Habitat For Humanity of Putnam

My guest today is the Executive Director of Habitat for Humanity of Putnam County. I know it would be rare for anyone not to be familiar with the organization, but I think a lot of people don’t understand exactly how it works or exactly what it provides in terms of the homes. Murali Thirumal was born in Sri Lanka. We’ll talk about his early life and how a young man from Sri Lanka ended up in college in Milledgeville, GA and what ultimately brought him back to champion great, non-profit work in the area. The Habitat for Humanity of Putnam has grown significantly under his creative leadership and many of you know him from visiting the ReStore or seeing him out in the community. We’ll discuss their brand new location, how that came about and what you can expect when you visit. If you haven’t been, you really need to check it out, it’s amazing! We will also talk about what the community does, and continues to do, to support the mission of the organization, providing homes and hope for people. We’ll learn about the fun side of Murali who, it turns out, is a bit of a prankster!
