Rebuild in South Africa, July 2011
Are you ready to build something that will completely change someone else's life? What's more, it will change your own life too & the life of your group members!! ReBuild is an eleven-day experience where you build a new home for a poor family in South Africa, right from the foundations upwards, in a few short days using just hand tools! Then you can hand over the keys and see the reaction as you literally change one family's lives forever! Up for the challenge?!

It would be great to have some groups representing the North East there.
