PREDA seek volunteers for the construction of children’s homes 

Fr Shay CullenInternational Irish person of the Year Fr. Shay Cullen and his team at the PREDA centre in Olongapo in the Philippines are continuing their tireless work in rescuing children from adult prisons and child prostitution.  In order to help these children experience a full rehabilitation the team at PREDA offer medical, educational, spiritual and a strong network of social supports to meet their needs. 

Due to the large volume of minors that the PREDA team rescue they are currently planning the construction of a home for boys and one for girls.  The team urgently need construction engineers as well as roofers, plumbers and electricians to help them finish these projects.  

It would undoubtedly prove to be a hugely enriching experience for young and retired professionals to come together on this life changing project being able to pass on ones skills to a group of children whose lives will be altered positively as a result. 

PREDA Galway are also organizing a team to travel to the PREDA centre in June to offer our services to the team there for a number of weeks.  Should you be interested in finding out more about volunteering about the building projects being undertaken at PREDA or in traveling with the PREDA Galway team to the Philippines in June please call the following numbers for more information : 0872482770 or 0866681339 or
email predagalway@gmail.com 

The PREDA website www.preda.org and www.predagalway.org will give you excellent background information of the charity as well as showing the work currently being undertaken by PREDA.  Your support in any form will help have a positive impact on the  lives of children who are struggling for their basic human rights.

PREDA Galway launched with a bang thanks to Damien Dempsey !

Damien took to the stage at 10.30 and blew the packed house away with a rousing rendition of “Maasai” and allowed himself a wry smile as he knew the audience were his as they sang in chorus to each of his songs right up to the Damo classic, “Love Yourself”.  >>More
