COLUMBUS, GA (WTVM)- Habitat for Humanity dedicated three homes in Columbus on Friday June 14. These homes were their first ever "Energy Star" homes.

With the completion of these 3 homes, it makes 275 homes that have been built by Habitat for Humanity in the area.

We spoke with one of the new homeowners, Loretta Baldwin, who explains what this means to her.

The families had to help build their houses--putting in 500 hours of work with habitat volunteers.

Loretta's family will each have their own bed rooms.

COLUMBUS, GA (WTVM)- Dads play many roles in
our lives. They're our teacher, nurturer, and best friend.

While many children will
be celebrating Father's Day this Sunday, some might not get to see their dads
on this special day.

We met with a girl who
hasn't spent Father's Day with her dad for the last four years.

While others are
celebrating this Sunday with their fathers, Alexis Dowdell will have to
celebrate the day without him. Her father is in Afghanistan and she will have
to honor him from afar.
