Chamberlin is a freshman from Six Mile majoring in special education; and Palmer is a sophomore from Easley majoring in media communication and human resources. The students spent part of their fall break assisting Pickens County Habitat for Humanity and the Veal family in construction of their new home in Norris. The students also shingled the home’s roof.
