The Robe Pastoral Area is made up of the parishes of Ballinrobe, Kilmaine, Roundfort and Partry. It has come together with SERVE, an Irish overseas development charity, to offer young people in the area a chance to volunteer in Cebu, the Philippines.
The five week project in July 2012 will provide the vulnerable community there with dignified housing, skills training, and a health centre.
The launch of this project will take place tonight (Friday October 7 ) in the Valkenburg Hotel, Ballinrobe, at 9pm.
