From Paul Wilson, Assistant Director of the Ceramic Tile Institute of America:


“ Working with Adero, I learned about the determination and enthusiasm of Habitat homeowners. She not only took a vacation day to learn to tile, but she brought her sons Khalil and Kamau and co-worker Janice to see the work in progress. She asked a lot of questions and told me she is ready to work with other Charlotte homeowners when the time comes to tile their homes!”
