(2021·江西南昌一模)Joel Connor works in an office in Kansas. His job is a typical nine to five, Monday to Friday job. So at the weekend, he does something different. He does voluntary work. He helps different organizations and people for free. Every weekend there's a new project.
This weekend, Joel is helping to build a house. He's moving a large blue panel. It is part of a wall. Joel isn't a professional builder, but that's the interesting thing about this project. The other people are “weekend builders” too.
These “weekend builders” are from the small town of Greensburg in Kansas. A year ago, a tornado(龙卷风) hit their town. After the tornado, the community started the project to build new homes. It is for 30 new homes. They get some help from a building company and a group of volunteers.
Joel says, “I heard about the tornado and the new project. I knew some people in Greensburg. I wanted to help.” Joel's friends are here this weekend too. They're on the roof. They're working with Jill and Scott Eller. Jill and Scott are building their “dream house”. Jill is standing near her new house. She's holding a part of the new wall. They're making the house “tornado resistant(抵抗……的)”—that's why it has an unusual shape.
The Ellers' house is almost ready, so next weekend, Joel is moving to a different project. Why does he do voluntary work “I have time. I can help people. I make friends and it's fun! So why not?” he says.
