BURNSVILLE, N.C. — North Carolina high school students are using their carpentry skills to build tiny homes for Helene survivors.

Mountain Heritage High School in Burnsville has a carpentry class where students are busy building a home for a family who lost everything, WTVD in Raleigh reports.

The project is part of a new partnership with the Rebuilding Hollers Foundation.

Their teacher said they embraced the opportunity to give back.

“It makes me feel very proud knowing that I am able to help and change someone’s life that is in need through not only school but building and just helping out those that can’t really help themselves,” Croix Silver, a senior at Mountain Heritage High School, told WTVD.

North Carolina high school students are using their carpentry skills to build tiny homes for Helene survivors.

The high school hopes to continue to build two to four tiny homes a year.
