The focus of my story is going to be Centre County’s chapter of Habitat for Humanity and specifically A Brush With Kindness project which works to serve low-income homeowners who struggle to maintain the exterior of their homes.
The best people to tell the story would be coordinators for Habitat for Humanity to give background about the history of the program and the nationwide effort. I would focus on a particular volunteer or group of volunteers on a project to give the story a personal touch. If the homeowners were available to be interviewed, I would also include details from their lives, but I would offer not include their names or faces to make them feel more comfortable talking to me about their experience.
The details I would be sure to include would be b-roll of the volunteers that I interview working on a project as well as other houses that have been worked on and houses that have yet to be fixed up. I would also include statistics and facts about the percentage of low-income families in Centre County and the number of houses that have already undergone repairs through this program.
Overall, I would want my story to convey the altruism and positive spirit of the A Brush With Kindness program.
