- Network with other Momentum members

- Challenge yourself as an individual
- Improve teamworking/leadership skills
- Have Fun
The celebration ‘Big Build’ will see 250 volunteers travel to Beius to build 10 homes in a week.
If you would like to become part of the Momentum team to Beius in Oct please contact Jackie Trainor - Jackie Trainor or 90-243686 ext. 230.
As stated by Peter Shields- Last years Chairman of Momentum who headed up the team to Ghana in Oct 2008.
"For the family, they were getting a roof over their heads and a new home but for the group from Belfast, building that house was much more than bricks and mortar...This was not just about building a house, it was about how we related to each other as a team, how we involved ourselves in a forgotten community and ultimately about the stewardship of our resources”.
“We ended up deeply intrigued by things we didn’t understand! On the west coast of Africa, in the rural town of Fosu, Ghana, the safe distance between our world and rural West Africa sharply narrowed.”
