Please see below for a thank you message from our local Team Hope Co-ordinators:
Dear Principals, Christmas Shoebox Appeal coordinators, Staff, parents, pupils and community members.
I’m delighted to tell you all that 1683 shoeboxes were sent to The Congo last week from our checking centre in Ballinrobe.
Once again, this is a fantastic number of boxes which we are assured will be given to deserving children and the delight on their faces when they open them “heartwarming”
We appreciate all of your help and especially thank parents, who in these difficult financial-times, filled boxes with fabulous items.
Donations given to us were used to buy for the 4 Ws,-Write, Wash, Wear and Wow which we added to boxes.
On behalf of Team Hope and all our helpers in Ballinrobe Checking Centre, I wish you and all your families a Holy and Peaceful Christmas and New Year.
Margaret O Neill, on behalf of Eileen Vahey, Co-ordination.
