Story
Thank you for visiting our Fund Raising Page.
In October 2008, 8 good friends - 40+ age (some nearer 50) - will be travelling to Zambia for 10 days to build 2 homes as part of Habitat for Humanity, N Ireland.
The team - Aaron Metcalfe, Gareth Metcalfe, Jeremy Hill, Joe McCollum, Niall Norris, Patrick Blackwell-Smyth, Peter Farquharson & Philip Edwards.
Not quite a mid life crisis, but an opportunity for all of us to give something back. We are all covering the cost of the trip ourselves, so all funds raised will go directly to support the work undertaken in Zambia by Habitat for Humanity.
60% of the population in Zambia live in rural areas, where housing needs are considerable. Families are crowded into a single room and children face life-threatening conditions on a daily basis. Problems continue to grow due to urban migration and the spread of HIV / AIDS.
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Habitat for Humanity Northern Ireland gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving ensures that 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
So please dig deep and sponsor the team now in this worthy cause..
