On Friday we said 'Auf Wiederschauen' to Keira who completed her 4-week placement in ReStore Lisburn as part of a programme with Intern Europe Ltd. We want to say a big thank you to Keira for all of her hard work and support over her 4 weeks with us. Here's what Keira had to say when we asked her about her ReStore experience: "Since being in ReStore I've really learned to open myself up more, be more confident and understand all of the accents! There are so many different people who come in to ReStore and everyone is treated and valued equally. Being a part of ReStore and meeting all of the lovely staff and volunteers was definitely a highlight for me- I especially loved working with the other volunteers."

#UrbanOctober #HomeEquals In the northern Brazilian city of Manaus sits an informal settlement of 2,000 families belonging to 14 different indigenous groups. It is called Nova Vida, or “New Life.” But building a new life here has proven difficult, as the community is fighting to obtain titles to the land and, subsequently, access to the basic services such as water and electricity as well as schools and health care facilities. Through the Home Equals campaign, Habitat and our partners will be seeking policy and systems changes that help communities much like Nova Vida access basic services and tenure security through empowered participation in processes that give them real input into solutions. Hilda, her husband Joao and stepson Miguel have lived in the community for years. She has said that her biggest dream is to get title to the community and for everyone to be able to live in their homes without fear of eviction.
