"This is the best Christmas ever, God thank you all. We are delighted we don’t have to share an outside toilet anymore. We can have some privacy, because people are not able to look at us through holes in the 
shack walls”.

“My family have a beautiful home God bless you Irish. We are feeling much safer in the house and enjoying not worrying about leaks or fires”.

“We are very thankful for and 
enjoying the space and privacy of our new house, for our sister who has TB, she can now have some rest and quiet in her own room. 
Also rats can not enter as freely into our house and we are not bothered by outside noise”.

“We are really looking forward to saving towards buying nice furniture to beautify our house without having to worry about theft and heavy rains that destroyed our clothing and furniture while living in a shack. This will be our first December holidays where we will enjoy going home and knowing that our house is locked and all our belongings will be safe from fires, which happen this time of the year. Thank you to the Irish Volunteers, you were here for a week but you left me a house I can live in with my family forever.”

“For me and my children this house means freedom, I have been living in a shack for 11 years, now I have my own room, my own bathroom and my children are safe. Thank you to all the people of Ireland.”
