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."
