Haven's first ever Build it Week kicks off on Sunday 25th of October.

260 volunteers from every county in Ireland are bound for Haiti for a one week intensive build. They are aiming to build at least 40 houses in six days - a daunting task, especially in tropical heat with extreme humidity.

Find out more about these valiant volunteers as they struggle against the seering heat, the basic conditions and the mozzies! Follow our bloggers daily as they report from Haiti during Build it Week.

    Hi Sean, glad to hear you got there ok. Hope you got some shuteye on the flight - looks like you'll not be getting much while you are there.
    Charlestown are County Champions - they beat Knockmore by 3 Points. John Casey saved a goal 2 minutes from full time.
    You won't be as pleased to hear what Liverpool did to Man U today.

    Have a good week and go easy on your poor trowel! All here say Hi.
    Love HIlary.

    Rouge, hope all is well and the project is smashing along. Please do your best to stay away from the angry rolls, and look for Barak's brother, Pierre Petit-Homme.

    Hello Katie Giles of Sideline, What a lovely lot of people you have joined up with. We are full of admiration for everyone out there working so hard in those hot and humid conditions. Looking forward to seeing some video footage; wish we could see the final programme on TV here in Westfield, England. Now who could be writing to you from Westfield?
