More About Us

This association is a network of volunteers within the island of Ireland that offers the possibility to people from 17 years upwards to do some voluntary work for a period of two weeks or longer in Kenya or Uganda, East Africa. The volunteers live with the Religious of the Sacred Heart and work along side them for the duration. They take time each day to reflect on what they have experienced and on return to their home country continue that reflection. An integral part of the experience is the preparation. This involves a residential with a focus on team building skills and an introduction to the host country’s culture, customs and history. Generally this takes place over a weekend. There are also some skills-based days to prepare for the specific project
