About Me

Me, Myself, and I
Welcome to the Friends of Africa Bebo page!

Friends of Africa was formed in 1998. Since 1998 we have become a registered charity. Over the past 10 years we have had 16 long term volunteers and over 30 short-term volunteers involved with various projects in Africa. Friends of Africa has helped set up street children centres and more recently has developed initatives in learning through sport, performing arts.

We have also had two fundraising trips to Kilimanjaro, where members of the group climbed this mountain to help raise funds for the charity. Conan loved hiking up the big mountain....

As for work at home, we regularly have fundraisers and also do retreat work in schools.

If you want to get involved with Friends of Africa or if you would like more information you can check out our website - www.friendsofafrica.org. Or why not come along to our next fundraising night out?

    • NO PHOTOS!!!

      Lads, I'm so sorry that there are no photos of the Christmas Party in Renshaws or of the Christmas Retreat or of the hugely successful and not at all mortifying Carol Singing, but I lost my camera! I found it again there though, so there'll be loads of pics up of the Backdoor Inn night and of New Year's eve night! Wreck er! - Aisling B!
