DEVELOPMENT EDUCATION

7 Transition Year students will travel to Kenya this month 6th – 20th January):

  • Will O’Connell
  • Patrick Shannon
  • Karl Butler
  • Eunan Linders
  • Gary Galvin
  • Liam McMahon
  • Tom Maher

to volunteer in an orphanage for HIV children in the Nyumbani Village, Kitui, Kenya.

A total of 15 students will be travelling, 4 from St Andrew’s and 5 from Cork with 5 parents including Fiona Galvin and Jacinta Shannon (Blackrock mothers).

 The trip costs €1,600 which the boys pay themselves and the students are asked to fundraising €900 each for the orphanage.

The boys will spend their time organising sports for the children or planting/harvesting fruit and vegetables.

Great credit is due to the students who have volunteered as it’s not going to be a relaxed trip!

We wish them a safe and fulfilling mission.
