At
the end of October 2010, after much preparation, 7 Abbey students
(right) will travel to work with the children in
Providence School, Shillong and give of their energy and their time to
improve the lot of the children there.
In preparation,
so far, they have looked into the
Edmund Rice vision, Mother Teresa, the Shillong area, the Brothers in
India and Providence School. More
preparation dealing with our involvement in Providence (assisting in the
teaching of English, receiving instruction in their vocational programme,
daily reflection and journalling etc) will follow in September. The
parents of the 7 students assisted by great friends of the Project have
undertaken a fundraising campaign in order
to cover basic travel and basic accommodation expenses.
In
May, a 5-week Silver Circle was conducted in the school community
and received widespread support.
At
the end of July, a solo cycle from Mizen Head in Cork to Malin
Head in Donegal (IRELAND...HEAD TO HEAD) will take place in order to
raise funds.
In
September, a Buster Race to raise funds has been arranged for
Thurles Greyhound Stadium and will again provide a great nights
entertainment. |
