June is another Charity Month at DoneDeal and this month for each ad placed 30 cent will be given to the Niall Mellon Township Trust. The trust was established in 2002 with the aim of providing quality social housing for the impoverished communities in the townships of South Africa. Did you know that there are 4.3 million people living in shacks in townships across South Africa? With the generosity and support received by Irish people and from across the globe, the trust has managed to build 13,500 homes and house 80,000 people to date.

In addition, each year Irish volunteers and friends from across the globe head to South Africa in week long “Building Blitzes”. Click here for some video coverage from 2009. Maybe one or two of us here in DoneDeal might put on our hard hats and head out there in November to give a helping hand!

With your help, we want to raise funds for such an important cause. If you wish to get involved you can get more information on the website.

Congratulations to everyone that picked Germany as the winner of the 2010 Eurovision song contest.  All correct entrants names were put into a hat this morning and we have now picked a winner of a brand new Nintendo wii console aswell as a Karaoke Revolution game so you can get your singing voice ready for next years competition.

A HUGE congratulations to Bilal Al Momani from Galway whose name was drawn this morning as the winner of our Eurowinner Competition!  Your prize is on its way so get those vocal chords ready!

With the summer coming in, John couldn’t resist getting back on the road on 2 wheels.  John hasn’t owned a motorbike in 10 years but working in DoneDeal and seeing the great selection of bikes that are advertised on our site proved to be a little too tempting for him!!

After trailing DoneDeal he found this GEM of a bike,  a Honda CB 1000 (The big one!) and is now officially back in the biking world! So watch out roads……John’s back!!

Part of the initiation process when you come to work at DoneDeal is to go out and buy some cool toy for the office (yeah ok, we are a bunch of kids really!).  As Mel is our newest DoneDealer, she was hunted out of the office to trail the town of Wexford for the perfect toy.  And boy did she do a good job!

Friday evening was spent in a racing competition with our new Scalectrix with Fred getting very competitive indeed!  Great choice there Mel!  Check out our facebook page to see the video of the “kids” at play!
