Sweat and hope go hand-in-hand
MONROE - Abdul Al-Azadi frowns behind his safety glasses, wrinkling up his long thin face. He tips back his baseball cap revealing more of his weathered, brown skin to the brief hint of sun. Looking toward the general area where his front door will soon open to visitors, Al-Azadi measures wood then places it in front of a saw. He is very precise. He has to be. He is building a home for the thing he holds most dear: his family. Everett resident Al-Azadi, an Iraqi immigrant, is a participant in Housing Hope's Self-Help Housing Program at Sky Meadows West in Monroe. This site is one of two dozen in Snohomish County, including Arlington and Stanwood, that the nonprofit housing developer has established to help more than 150 local families since 1992. Low-income families can put their name on a list to qualify and become new home owners by working at least 30 hours a week to help build their homes.

School rejects homeless girl
A KEEN Year 10 student, living less than 500m from Adelaide High School, claims the school turned her away because she is homeless. Kimberley Williams, 15, lives in a tent with her mum and brother in parklands near West Tce in the city. She has not been to school for six months and was "angry and upset" Adelaide High School and St Aloysius College told her she could not enrol. "Adelaide High School said I wasn't allowed to be enrolled because we had to have a 12-month lease or rental agreement or something in the zone," she said. "St Aloysius said Year 10 was booked full so I had to get an enrolment form for next year." Adelaide High principal Stephen Dowdy said there was nothing stopping Kimberley enrolling. The situation was a misunderstanding.
