Students help build homes
The programme began in 2005, when 70 secondary school and university students pitched in to help build a Gran Couva home for a needy family with eight children. The programme was launched by North Hall, a registered non-profit organisation that aims to help young men make choices that will lead them to become responsible adults. At North Hall, students are exposed to human development programmes via seminars, conferences, hikes, spiritual development classes, mentorship programmes and sports. The ‘You Can Help’ programme helps students to understand the value of community service and deepens their holistic development. For more information about the ‘You Can Help’ programme, please contact North Hall at: northhall@gmail.com or call (868) 645-9755, or visit the centre located at 7 Deane Street, St Augustine. |
‘You can Help’ is a volunteer programme that relies on students and community groups who offer their time and services to construct homes for the needy, with the latest project being constructing a home for a family in Tunapuna
