Carlow man organising fund raiser to help plaster schools in South Africa
Carlow man Joe Waters is trying to fund his trip to contribute through Mellon Educate
A local Carlow man is organising a fundraiser on Go Fund Me, aiming to fund a trip to South Africa to do volunteer work by plastering schools.
Joe Waters from Ardattin Village in County Carlow is hoping to do this work through Mellon Educate.
From the Go Fund Me page:
"Well ... my name is Joe Waters .. from Ardattin a little village in Carlow . I got introduced to Mellon Educate a long time ago from my uncle that participated in a building blitz in South Africa . From then I was very intrigued and interested to take part someday . A couple of my good friends have taken part last few years and now hopefully with your help I can raise money to help fund my upcoming volunteer work by plastering schools for the children of South Africa through Mellon Educate .
Mellon Educate runs a ten year education development programme to provide better education to more than 100,000 African children and help lift them out of a life of hopelessness to a higher level of education where they can contribute to and help shape society."
