The sound of hammers and electric saws filled the air as a Habitat for Humanity International project went up near the CCSN campus on West Charleston Boulevard. The financial supporter of the house is Thrivent Financial for Lutherans.

The four-bedroom home will eventually belong to Angel and Geiselle Ayala, who have five children, ages 5 to 12. Angel Ayala is a laborer with Local 872. His wife takes care of the children while pursuing a dual degree at CCSN. She plans to earn a business degree at UNLV and wants to become a lawyer.
