Last Saturday, Serve the City sent a team from Habitat for Humanity to the Ballyogan Resource Centre.  The group were made up of two small volunteer teams going to Romania and Thailand in the coming months to build homes with Habitat.  While at the resource centre, the group did a tremendous job tearing out weeds and overgrowth, as well as painting the walls, planters, and storage shed door.  Staff from the Ballyogan Community Development Group now have a nice back garden area behind their office building and a place to plant a community garden to be maintained by residents of the estate.

The Resource centre is used for a variety of different services for residents of Ballyogan, including homework clubs, family support, counselling, life skills training, and more.  It’s been a privilege for Serve the City to partner with the Ballyogan community over the last few years!  (CLICK HERE to see our entire image gallery on Flickr.)
