"He was perfectly relaxed and didn't mind being photographed at all," local reporter Pranjal Bhujan told People. "He did everything -- he mixed the cement, carried it to the house, laid it on the bricks and then placed the bricks on the wall that was being built."

About 100 houses are being built through Habitat for Humanity for families in the Lonavala area as part of the 23rd annual Jimmy Carter Work Project.

"We've realized that people across the globe have the same basic needs, dreams and aspirations," Carter, 82, said. "Habitat's program depends on finding families who cannot otherwise afford housing."
