We arrived to rain in Madurai, the change being it was warm. We settled into our rooms and have had a good breakfast and our first team meeting with Miss Sweetie.
We will be working in two villages, one each week; we hope to visit both of these this afternoon before starting work tomorrow.
We hope to post a photo soon once we get the right lead to get connected

· Protection and safety for all team members as they travel to and from their destination. Good health throughout the trip and on return home.
· That the team members will adapt quickly to climate, food and culture in country
· Pray for ideal building conditions and that there are the materials needed to build the houses.
· Pray that the team will have a rewarding, enjoyable and incident free time.
· Pray that the team will bond well together and that relationships will be built among team members as well as among the local community, especially with the families whom the team are building for.
· Pray for the team leaders, that they will make wise decisions and be able to deal with any situations that may arise.
· Pray that team members will come back challenged and with a desire to do more when they return both in Boys’ Brigade and for charities such as Habitat for Humanity.

Getting this thing up and running!
Hey there!
This is a bit of a test post to see how it goes...
This blog is for the Northern Ireland Boys' Brigade team to India, working alongside Habitat for Humanity NI. From 15th August to 31st August 2009 we are travelling to Madurai, India to build houses as part of Habitat's Global Village project- attempting to put an end to poor housing in the world
A team of 23 will be heading out, all related in some way to the Boys' Brigade or with the previous BB team to Madurai in 2007.
Wish us all the best and keep us in your prayers
