ShanTY Town Project

8 transition year students recently completed a fund and awareness raising project named ''ShanTY Town''. The 8 students lived and built in a shanty in the school. They lived off €1 a day, which is the poverty line. Altogether the lads raised a staggering €7,200 for our sister school in Ghana. This will support the schools feeding programme. Well done lads!
