Item 2: A New School and Park.
This is the overall plan for the village where we are building the church/school. Their dream is to surround the church with a new school, play areas, basketball & soccer pitches and much more. This will take years but with the help of Heart To Hand, the first building will be completed in early October. This will give confidence to the village and with their help and funding from Heart To Hand; their dream will become a reality in 2013/14. This large project will also create jobs for teachers and construction workers and help many people in the village.

Item 3: Hair Saloon & New House Durres
The little house in the attached picture will be converted into a hair saloon. Heart To Hand will bring the contents of an Irish hair saloon all the way to Albania. This saloon will give employment in the area and help a young family get their business off the ground. If it’s successful there is plenty of room to extend the business. Creating jobs and helping people get back to a normal life is part of the work that Heart To Hand carries out on a regular basis. “Helping people to help themselves”
This site will also see a new house built for a family who are desperately in need of a new home. Building costs for both, €15,000

Item 4: New Church & School, Shkoder.
This is a site in Shkoder where Heart To Hand will construct a new Church and school. We will provide the structural steel frame, the roof, fascia and soffit, gutters and all necessary weather proofing. The walls will be constructed using local labour which will be of great value to them. The windows and doors will be sourced locally again giving much needed employment in this very poor area. Once the building is completed externally the fit out can begin, again all local labour will be used and all materials purchased locally. This will be a huge boost to this parish.

Item 6: New Roof to this House in Rubik.
This house had some running repairs last year as the crew were heading for the Airport. We left funding for new windows and a door, which were installed. This year heart To Hand will give the house a complete new roof as the existing is ready to collapse in on the family of 7. Once the new roof is completed the crew will undertake the supporting of the concrete roof to the new roof structure to make it safe. As usual there is no road to this house and all materials will have to be carried a long distance on rough terrane.
Building costs €8,000

Item 7. Convent Roof Repairs in Tirana
The convent in Tirana is base to a host of activities, including soup kitchens, care of the elderly, care of the disabled etc.
Similar to Ireland, when they get rain they get rain!!!. The two large tiled roofs are not waterproof and let in water which makes conditions damp and dangerous for electrical items. Heart To Hand will use a specialist paint to seal both roofs and all surrounding walls,

Item 10: New Roof to this house in Lac.
This is home to a family of 6 in North Albania. This time of year with the sun shining it looks great but in winter they receive the same conditions as Ireland. The roof is in very bad repair and is leaking in several locations. Once the water gets in, it starts to rot the timber structure and with the weight of the tiles it’s not long before it collapses. This was a late ask from the Sisters, but Heart To Hand with your help can help this poor family.
