Former US president Jimmy Carter who has been diagnosed with cancer will travel to quake-hit Nepal to build homes with 1,500 volunteers in November.

In August, 90-year-old Carter said he had been diagnosed with cancer in his brain but still hoped to make a scheduled trip to Nepal.

"I really wanted to go to Nepal to build houses," he had said.

NGO Habitat for Humanity in a press statement today said that Carter had received consent from his medical team to travel to Nepal.

Carter and his wife Rosalynn will participate in Habitat for Humanity's 32nd annual Jimmy & Rosalynn Carter Work Project from November 1 to 6 in Chitwan in southern Nepal.
