Day Three for Group Two and massive progress takes place on the roof and grounds!

It’s Day Three here for Group Two and massive progress takes place on the roof and grounds. Huge preparations have gone into roof getting all ready for the sheeting to go on.  We rise at 4.40am, breakfast, bus and on site for 6am as dawn breaks. As witnessed by the 200 volunteers from the 2010 project here in Mombasa this school and living conditions were awful and unacceptable. But, thanks to the 200 new volunteers, many returning from 2010 for generous giving of time and talents, incredible change is taking place for the children. Again, through the generosity of the Irish we are able to employ some local people to help with this enormous project. As the volunteers make new friends on site it is a miracle what can be done when people work together in a Spirit of giving.

It’s Day Four the blocks are rising under the hot African sun. The first group of fifty volunteers are busy block-laying. We rise at 4.40am, breakfast, bus and on site for 6am as dawn breaks. As witnessed by the 200 volunteers from the 2010 project here in Mombasa this school and living conditions were appalling. But, thanks to the 200 Volunteers for generous giving of time and talent life will change incredible for the children here in the next few weeks. As we work together we get first-hand experience of life and living here in Africa. Again, through the generosity of the Irish people we are able to employ some local people to help with this enormous project. As the volunteers make new friends on site it is a miracle to see what can be done when people work together in a spirit of giving.
