Volunteers head to Jordan to build a home

Sat, 29 Oct 2011

A group of eight local volunteers travel to Jordan this weekend to build a home for a man there.

The group are taking part in the Habitat for Humanity scheme, which sees people from around the world travel to impoverished areas to provide housing and shelter.

The Manx party got together in February to start raising the £14,000 needed to take part in the project.

One of the group, Brendan Beeken, says it's been a challenge to get the funds together [play clip]
