Habitat for Humanity Ireland

The most rewarding holiday I’ve ever had!

The time I spent working for Habitat for Humanity in Zambia was the most rewarding holiday I have ever had. While with Habitat you get to help people at a grassroots level, and really see how the money you raise improves people lives. We lived with and worked alongside the local community, getting to know the people we were helping, and understanding their culture and way of life.

While in Zambia I was working on a new home for a widow, her brother and her five children. We got to know the family very well and you could see how much their new home meant to them – their whole quality of life had improved with this new home. I definitely came back to Dublin with a fresh perspective on life.
