Thanks to Kieran Weldon for sending in the winning song at Karaoke this year.
It certainly gives you that Friday feeling. It is getting all of us in the office in the mood for the 2012 Building Blitz already!


Fellow volunteers Let's build it!

Building a better world there is no other way
Yes were building a better world in Africa today

November time comes around each year
And we pack our bags with our building gear
With our fundraising done and out of the way
It’s off to the airport and without delay
All aboard we start our flight
Over land and sea and through the night
Everything precisely planned and we come from all corners of IRELAND !

Building a better world  you and me today

When Niall came here in 2002
He knew there was something that he had to do
No human being should live in a shack
And from that day on he has never looked back
He came back home and assembled a team
Of the finest people that you ever seen
For volunteers this trip is a must
And he called it The Niall Mellon Township Trust

Building a better world There is no other way
Yes we’re building a better world in Africa today

We built it (x 3)

It's the terror of knowing What this world is about,
Watching some good friends Screaming `Help me out'
Pray tomorrow takes me higher
Pressure on people, people on streets

Making a difference  [x2]

Now building houses is a lot of fun
As we sweat and toil and burn in the sun
With our pink team ladies and our fore men too
And not forgetting our medical crew
They guide us safely through or day
People think we’re crazy but that’s ok
But were not that crazy cause we have a plan
And can we do it…..YES WE CAN

Building a better world
There is no other way

Can we ever imagine what it must be like
To live in a shack for most of our life
This week a family will go to bed
In a beautiful house with a roof overhead
100,000 people will never forget
As they watched the volunteers toil and sweat
