Salem: Mary Neagle from Habitat for Humanity, left. compliments Van Truong on the overhead lights in the kitchen of Truong's new home on Harrison Avenue in Salem, as Truong's son, Robert Nguyen, 11, listens to their conversation during a dedication ceremony at the house on Sunday. Troung participated in the one and a half year construction process, and her children, Robert and Lina Nguyen, 12, got to choose the paint colors for their bedrooms, which they won't have to share for the first time.
