He said he tripped and hit his head on a sharp edge while getting ready for church and needed 14 stitches. But I had a number one priority and that was to come to Nashville and build houses, added Carter, who said hell be doing a limited building schedule this week.
Well be doing the best we can, said Carter, who explained that he and the former first lady will be working on the porches of each of the 21 homes built in Nashville this week so that all of the Habitat houses will have something we built.

Well first of all, I want to explain my black eye... Undeterred by a head injury that required 14 stitches this morning, former President Jimmy Carter is here in Nashville with Rosalynn Carter kicking off the 36th Carter Work Project with @Habitat_orgpic.twitter.com/v1cdCRp338
The Carters have been decades-long supporters of and volunteers for Habitat for Humanity , which constructs or renovates homes for low income individuals in the U.S. and around the globe.
Besides continuing to participate in Habitat for Humanity, Carter teaches Sunday school and remains active in the Carter Center, a nonprofit that largely focuses on public health, election monitoring and conflict resolution.
In an appearance for the center last month Carter said he was proud the U.S. participated in no foreign wars during his tenure as president from 1977-81.
We have been at war more than 226 years. We have been at peace for about 16 years, said Carter, a World War II veteran. The United States is very deeply inclined to go to war.
Carter hasnt yet endorsed a Democratic presidential candidate. But he said last month that reelecting President Donald Trump would be a disaster.

Im going to keep an open mind about a Democratic candidate, he said at a town hall sponsored by the Carter Center. One of the major factors I will have in my mind is who can beat Trump. I think it will be a disaster to have four more years of Trump.
He suggested in June that Trump is an illegitimate president . He lost the election and was put into office because the Russians interfered on his behalf, he said .
