Story

Hi there!
Thanks for taking the time to visit my page. I'm heading out to Malawi, Africa with a team of 16 others from the Armagh Diocese to build affordable houses. I need to raise £2,000 before I go so appreciate any help going!
I have a number of fund raising activities taking place including:

- Cake & Bake Sale, Farmers Market, Granville, Dungannon- 19th March 2011

-Fundraising in Sainsburys, Dungannon- 30th April 2011

- Sponsored Walk and Cycle, Parkanaur, Dungannon- 1st May 2011

- Newry City Half Marathon, Newry- 29th May 2011

Feel free come along to as many as you can!


Malawi is a country of immense beauty, yet in the midst of this beauty is extreme poverty - the country is rated amongst one of the least developed countries in the world. Three quarters of the population live on less than $2 USD a day.
Because of the widespread poverty, an estimated four out of five families are living in substandard homes, with little hope of ever being able to afford a decent house. A typical village hut is built of mud and daub with a dirt floor and thatched roof and requires frequent repair. The conditions put families at high risk of all kinds of diseases, with leaky roofs making the house damp and mud floors attracting insects such as intestinal parasites.

You can find some more information about the charity on the left but if you need any further information or have any further questions, feel free to email me at joanneellencasey@gmail.com.

Thanks,

Joanne
