Former President Jimmy Carter has long been known for his volunteerism, including building homes with the organization Habitat for Humanity. North Carolina resident Nancy Massey has been on fifteen Habitat for Humanity building missions over the years. Back in August 2001, she was on a Habitat site in South Korea, when former President Carter, his wife Rosalynn and the founder of Habitat for Humanity showed up to help build an apartment complex. She remembers, this was no photo-op. Mr. Carter knew how to swing a hammer, and did so even in the intense heat of summer. After that experience, Nancy also visited Plains, Georgia where she attended Mr. Carter’s Sunday school class. In this episode taped in March, 2023, WRAL anchor and reporter Ken Smith shares his interview with Massey.
