Be a part of something special. This November we are bringing 2000 volunteers to Cape Town for our sixth annual one week Building Blitz on the 28th November – 6th December 2008.

During this week we will build high quality houses for residents of the Township of Khayelitsha, moving them out of small tin shacks into fully equipped houses.
Places are filling up quickly so if you would like to join us, and be part of Ireland’s largest ever volunteer contingent overseas, download an application form here, or alternatively call one of the team on (01) 494 8200.
“I had been told by a friend this one week trip was amazing but he didn’t do it justice, it was the most fantastic week of my life. It was hard work but great fun. The week may be over but I know we have changed the lives of thousands of people forever.”
