(KNSI) – Central Minnesota Habitat for Humanity has a family for its SabreCON 1 house.
Officials say Abdi and Ramla will be moving to the Sartell Community with their three children, ages 14, 12 and nine. The two say they left Somalia due to hardships related to civil war and to find better opportunities in the United States.
After meeting in Sioux Falls, Abdi and Ramla moved to St. Cloud. In 2005, he began working for St. Cloud Area School District 742 as a bilingual communications support specialist in all grade levels.
The family lives in the three-bedroom apartment on the 4th floor, where one of the children suffers from allergic reactions to the pets owned by other tenants. According to Habitat for Humanity, the family likes to read, travel, swim, go to parks, and spend time with friends and family.
The Sartell High School Construction program has built a six-bedroom, three-bath, 2,112 square foot home. According to the school district, the program teaches students valuable skills needed for a career in construction.
