Only 7 Days

There are days when I have the privilege to share in peoples joy. Ntombekhaya Pompolwana is packing her possessions. She is packing up everything she owns. On Friday the 19th of November 2010 she will be moving from her tiny shack to her new home. A home built of brick and mortar, with a toilet and bath. A roof over here head.

I am currently working for the Niall Mellon Township Trust. On Sunday more than 750 Irish volunteers will descend on Wallacedene and will give of their time and expertise. And on Friday they will have put the finishing touches to the house which Ntombekhaya will make a home.

I look forward Friday.

It was a great joy to witness the people of wallacedene receive the keys to their new homes---something we will never forget! Thanks you for capturing the true essence of the reason we were there!
