Update:We're now back from Lesoto. A newsletter summarising our experiences is available here.

Paul Gargan and Aoife Lynch are traveling to Lesotho for two weeks on December 27th. We'll be working with a team from Samaritan's Purse, renovating a local school in the village of Methalaneng.

We're having a charity Swing Dance night on Saturday October 18th to raise money. You are invited, as are your family, friends and Others of varying Significance. The venue is the Larkin Room in Liberty Hall on Eden Quay, Dublin 1.

We're paying our own travel and living expenses. All profits from the night are being donated directly to the village school, used to buy sports, crafts or classroom materials, or donated to other local needy projects.

Doors open at 8:30pm and the entertainment continues until midnight. Admission is €12

SwingTime, which encapsulates those 1930's and 1940's days of decadence, is making a comeback, and with it the velvet tones and glamour of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Ella Fitzgerald. After years of formulaic and tacky night clubbing, there's really no better way to party ...."
