North Central Georgia Habitat held a First Nail Ceremony Saturday for the Diallo family at 1520 Oakfield Lane in Roswell.

The construction is being made possible through a $100,000 UPS Foundation grant and is due to be completed in October.

Joining them to build the home will be Mohamad and Madina Diallo, who will purchase the home. Originally from the Republic of Guineas, the Diallos became U.S. citizens in 2007. They have three children. Mohamad operates his own limousine service, and Madina works as a part-time nursing assistant.
