My Personal Message

Hi there,

Thank you for visiting this fundraising page.

Habitat for Humanity Ireland, have asked Bobby Kerr to assist by bringing
a group of Irish business people to Zambia this April to work on a house
building project for a local family caring for AIDS orphans. The team
will be helping some of the most impoverished people in the world, in a
spirit of partnership, empowerment and dignity.

What will happen?
The team and Habitat volunteers work on the local house building scheme
alongside future homeowner families. This partnership means that our team
will work alongside those that will be benefiting from the homes we build.
We will also take part in some cultural activities and end the trip by
having leaving ceremony with the families who will receive the homes we
build.

Please read more about the charity Habitat for Humanity below.

TO SPONSOR ANYONE ON THE TEAM:
Bobby Kerr
Joe Barrett
Maurice Byrne
Peter Corr
Mervyn Feely
Ciaran Flanagan
Cathal Keogh
Ronan McCullough
Dessie McGuirk
Kate Gaffey

YOU CAN ALSO GIVE A CHEQUE OR CASH DIRECTLY TO ONE OF THE TEAM MEMBERS WHO
WILL BE ABLE TO ACCEPT YOUR SPONSORSHIP

Many thanks in advance for your support,

Bobby & Team
