Owning a home for our families is more than just bricks and mortar; it provides an opportunity for children to have a base, attend school, offers security and stability and improves their health conditions.
Habitat for Humanity Ireland would love the opportunity to work with NUIG students and staff for 2 weeks in summer 2016; if you are interested in volunteering with the HFH Global Village please contact Mary at mary@habitatireland.ie or 01-5310033
alternatively if the dates do not suit you and you would like to join an open team please keep an eye on our website www.habitatireland.ie/overseas-volunteering/
Currently we are advertising for volunteers to help re-build communities which were devastated by deadly typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines in 2013
