We recently shared a blog with you that discussed Nissan’s efforts with Habitat for Humanity and how the automaker recently participated in an event in Los Angeles along with the Heisman Trophy Trust in order to build a new house for a local family of five. The previous blog discussed how the three organizations helped to facilitate e a weekend-long event to not only build a home for this family, but to help and raise awareness about the need for affordable housing all throughout the U.S.

Here we are offering you a behind-the-scenes account from a few of the participants that took part in the build that day. The video shows Heisman winners and Nissan executives discussing why the are passionate about this cause and helping to build a home for this family.

“It’s great to get out of the office and spend some time in the community working with our dealers, working with the Heisman Trust, working with our people, working with a family who really deserves to have a home. And it makes it all worth it when you see Nissan make this kind of impact on a community and do that in a way that is just genuine. The smiles on people’s faces here, the hard work, the sweat – all that comes together, and we know that we are making an impact in the community. That’s a great place for us to be and a great feeling to have as a leader within the company.”

Watch the video above to hear some of the personal opinions of a few of the participants.
