Dear Friends of Habitat,
Habitat Singapore is looking for 6 adult volunteer-partners who are willing to help families build homes in Kharkhorin, Mongolia this June.
From the first nail to the last, you will get dirty, work hard and discover you have what it takes to build a better world. Whether you lay bricks, dig holes or paint walls, you will develop new skills, make new friends and experience what it means to give of yourself.
If you are looking for an adventure of a different kind, do consider joining our Global Village build.
The trip details are as follows:
- Date: 20 - 30 June 2009
- Cost per person:
- Donation: S$1,000
- Incountry cost: approximately S$700
- Airfare: to bearranged with the team (Note: Mongolia flights are costly however, with an estimate of over S$1,000. However, for those with Krisflyer points, June is the month where you can get 50% off your redemption miles if you use it for Beijing.)
The above approximate incountry cost covers accommodation, accident and illness insurance, ground transport, most meals and water. The donation goes to Habitat Building Fund. Volunteers are encouraged to fundraise for that component. The team will also need to arrange their own flights and fly in together as a team.
Volunteer criteria:
- 21 year old and above
- physical and mental fitness
- building experience is not needed
- flexible and adaptable
The trip is self funded. If you are interested and fit the above criteria, please reply to Ms Sharon Cheah at uihoon@gmail.com latest by next Wednesday (25 March 2009).

Those who sign up to go will need to make deposit of S$200, which is non-refundable, but is part of the $1,000 building fund donation. They are also required to attend a compulsory briefing (date to be confirmed).
Only selected applicants will be notified
Thank you and blessings.
