Our Work in Haiti.

The Haven Foundation is run by a man named Leslie Buckley. The Haven Foundation go to very poor countries to build houses, churches, shops and even community centres. Ms.Keogh's sister Rosemary went over to Haiti for a 'Build It Week' since all of the people's houses or shelters were destroyed during the earthquake last year. Rosie had to raise over €6,000.On the 'Build It Week',there were all different kinds of people there like;brick layers, carpenters, painters and the people who decorated the houses. They all played their parts and everything worked out and was successfully completed. We raised €800 for Haiti (and gave €1,268 to Operation Smile since Haven only needed 800 euro).We are very proud of what we achieved;80 houses were built that week in April,80 families' lives have changed.
