Owasso residents and country stars Garth Brooks and wife Trisha Yearwood have traveled to Haiti to again help Habitat for Humanity.

This time, they joined 29th annual Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Work Project in Leogane, Haiti, according to a press statement.

Brooks and Yearwood joined almost 600 volunteers, including former president Carter and his wife, to build 100 homes with families impacted by the 7.0 magnitude earthquake that shook the area in 2010.

More than 105,000 homes were destroyed.

“Last year, Rosalynn and I worked side by side with families left homeless by the 2010 earthquake and Habitat volunteers to build desperately needed homes in Haiti,” President Carter was quoted as saying in the Look to the Stars celebrity charity watch website.

“We were both deeply moved by the experience in a country we have known and loved for years. We have a deep personal investment in the future of Haiti and are happy to be building 100 homes in Leogane again this year.”
