On June 30, 2012, Charles Antis, President of Antis Roofing &
Waterproofing and a Habitat for Humanity Orange County Board Member,
traveled to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, to participate in the Habitat for Humanity
Blue Sky Build 2012. His 22-year-old son Erek and his 14-year-old daughter Ally
joined him.

Rather than spend their one-week family vacation in some popular vacation
spot like many in America, the Antis family choose to volunteer their time
building 20 Eco-friendly homes for local Mongolian families in need. After over
a full day in transit to Mongolia, the trio began the project with jet lag,
heat exhaustion and fatigue from a hard first day”s work. Charles
Antis” thought at the end of the day was, “What have I gotten myself
into?” As the week progressed, it became a quest full of unexpected
rewards for the trio.

While Charles worked closely with his helpful son Erek in finally fulfilling
a promise to teach him roofing, his daughter Ally took great pleasure in
keeping the army of 350 volunteers and homeowners fed, hydrated and cool.
Through hard work and dedication they were able to accomplish a lot in a very
short time. Then came that inner sense of gratitude as they were able to
celebrate with 20 appreciative Mongolia families while they dedicated the
homes. The joy that could be seen in the faces of those Mongolia families was a
reward that they would never have experienced if they had spent their vacation
elsewhere.

After six days into the week long project, Charles Antis described his
feelings, “Having shared this experience with some of the most amazing
people, I am so sad that it will soon end. It has been one of the greatest experiences
of my life.” Charles Antis and his children are looking forward to more
projects like this in the future and have indicated they will probably go back
for the Habitat for Humanity Blue Sky Build 2013. Charles Antis declares,
“We made friends with some of the kindest and good-hearted people I have
ever met. We experienced a wonderful and amazing native culture.” It was a
vacation that exceeded their expectations and an amazing adventure that the
family will never forget.

Though Antis Roofing & Waterproofing has been donating all the roofing
materials and installation for Habitat for Humanity Orange County homes since
2009 and assists the organization in other ways such as helping on the Mongolia
build, this is not the extent of their assistance to those in need. They have
also reached out in support to various charities in the community such as the
Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation, Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, Walk
United, MADD Orange County, Scleroderma Foundation, and many others.
