from Habitat for Humanity Northern Ireland to Phnom Penh in Cambodia
where as part of a group of 500 volunteers they will build 50 houses

Concert in St John's on Sunday 1 September. Five young people displayed
their extensive musical talent.
The evening commenced with an explanation by David of the work of
Habitat for Humanity and of the proposed project. He then introduced
each of the young musicians before they performed their solo items. The
evening finished with the artists playing tpgether.
