The Start of the Residential Home

The 200 volunteers both skilled and unskilled are made up of block layers, roofers, plasterers, electricians, plumbers, tillers, flooring and ceiling specialists, painters, paving specialists, stonemasons, landscapers, doctors, nurses, hairdressers, cleaning specialists, water runners.

They came from all over Ireland for the 2012 project and constructed a state of the art Residential Home at the Linkoni School for the Blind and have left a legacy to the people of Mombasa. The Volunteers constructed the project  in 28 working days. They all gave 10 days of their time and it was an experience they will bring with them throughout their lives. They will remember the early call at 5 a.m. the soaring temperatures of 40 degrees and the satisfaction they experienced could not be bought and the Building of Hope are eternally grateful for their hard work and commitment to the project. The volunteers are the real heroes of the project.
