South Africa

My name is Nikita Mullins and I have signed up to be a part of 100 young people and adults who will travel to South Africa to build relief housing March 20 to March 31st 2008. While sleeping in a campground with no running water, participants will build 5 houses and either a church or a school entirely from scratch as an opportunity to teach work skills and the importance of helping others to our local youth.

The service trip is based on providing practical help to the local people in South Africa, while creating cross-cultural understanding through direct exposure to their culture. Youth mission project doesn't want a group to just build structures in a developing nation; we want young people to understand the reality of poverty through immersion.

The basic building project will be a 7m x 7m timber-framed structure with a concrete slap floor and a concrete-rendered exterior. The structure is a simple design, built according to the standards of the community, so that an unskilled group of young people with a few hand tools can still complete the project. These buildings will help the homeless, while larger structures can be used as schools, community centres, churches or medical facilities; although the final decision for use of these building will depend on the needs of the community.

How we pay for the trip is by providing simple pledge forms for hours worked to each participant and encouraging them to raise £25.00/hr to cover the cost of the building supplies, tools, food and travel costs. It is expected that the will work for 40hrs of hard labour during the trip. We need your help to make this possible/

The trip is for any youth, 12+ yrs old,who is willing to do five days of hard work to help others in need. We will have time off in Johannesburg and a trip to a game farm, however, our emphasis will be the construction of homes and buildings for the underprivileged in the area.

The more that 500 clubs for youth, ages 8 and up are only a starting point for opportunities young people can experience while growing up.

This trip will not only build homes for the poor, but develop the lives of our young people as well.. For further information visit our website at: http://www.urbansaints.org/
