TheStar.com | living | Teamwork builds dreams: "As buyers of a Habitat home, the Vincents were required to contribute what is known as ``sweat equity'' – 500 hours of volunteer labour toward their home's construction. All families involved with the Habitat program spend many days drywalling, drilling and sanding alongside volunteers on the construction site in order to gain their new houses at Habitat's greatly reduced price. Vincent's home is among an increasing number being built by corporate volunteers who trade in suits and ties for hammers and hard hats in order to make a difference."
