  Campaign:  [Discovery Impact: Rebuilding Alabama](/news/campaign/discovery-impact-rebuilding-alabama)  

[Discovery Blog](http://corporate.discovery.com/blog/2011/09/24/making-new-friends-new-homes/)

After three days of [Rebuilding Alabama](http://corporate.discovery.com/blog/tag/rebuilding-alabama/#mkcpgn=blgdsc1 "Rebuilding Alabama Tag") with [Habitat for Humanity Greater Birmingham](http://www.habitatbirmingham.org/ "Habitat for Humanity Birmingham Website"), our teams will be heading back to Miami, New York and Silver Spring tomorrow morning. It’s been an eye-opening and rewarding time for our employees and our thanks go to Habitat for Humanity, the families we were able to meet and help and to the people of Alabama that welcomed us. While the work is far from done, we are proud to be a part of the reconstruction.

Our own Kasey-Dee Gardner has been volunteering and caught up today with Shawn and Jamie Burchfield, one of the Pleasant Grove families we have been working with, in the video below:
