So heartwarming.  A group of Amish teenagers and young men, from Ohio, Indiana and New York, have converged on Tennessee.  They came there to join relief efforts, and help rebuild houses for the devastated flood victims of last year's Hurricane Helene.

Jerry D. Miller, of the New Order Amish group, explains that the eleven young men have been busy in both construction, and massive clean-up efforts.

While in Washington County, the group has been staying in a local Methodist church, with house parents who have accompanied them--

Without knowing much about it, I'm assuming that the New Order Amish do permit use of power tools.

These great guys will stay an entire month to help the community.  How super.

Amish have puppy mills!!

The Amish community here in Ohio where I live came out to help when the tornado hit this area last March.  I believe this is a wonderful thing for them to do.

But be aware that the Amish are big into puppy mills and do not take care or treat their animals very good at all, which includes their horses as well.  I have seen it with my own eyes.

We have a kitchen table and chairs, and a bedroom, set that were all made by the Amish.  Best furniture ever.  VERY well made and has lasted us for over 40 years.

Good for these guys to go down there and help.  They will be well built houses.
