Charitie(s) Supported: Habitat For Humanity Northern Ireland,
I am lucky enough to be going to Chennai in India for the month of July to work with the charity Habitat for Humanity. It's the first year of their Student Volunteer Programme and is part of a larger programme, Global Village. Habitat for Humanity is a non- denominational Christian charity dedicated to eliminating poverty housing worldwide. I will be working on site, and helping to build housing in underprivileged areas of Chennai as well as working in an outreach programme. I would really appreciate your support and donations, as it is a great cause. "Go to the people. Live with them, Learn from them, Love them. Start with what they know, Build with what they have. But of the best leaders When the work is done The task is accomplished The people will say, 'We have done this ourselves." Lao-Tzu (Chinese poem 700 B.C)
