the Co. Council. Applications need to be submitted before the end of November.  A meeting will take place in St. Leonard’s

interested in either or both of the above topics is invited to attend.


CD LAUNCH TO
ASSIST BUIOLDING OF HOPE PROJECT. The Building of
Hope charity was set up to build community facilities for some of the poorest
areas in Africa and on the second project in 2012 the volunteers were invited
to meet the beautiful children at the school for the blind. Hard men cried when
they saw the conditions. Sleeping three to a bunk with no sheets, no running
water for showers and no flush toilets, nothing to cook on but an open fire pit
and classrooms where lumps of the ceiling regularly fell in. The volunteers
decided there and then that they would return and build the children a new
home. This became a reality in February 2012 when the home was officially
opened.


 


Kate Carroll
stated “I was a volunteer on this project and saw the sheer joy that the
children displayed as they explored their new home. The charity is run
completely on a voluntary basis - no one gets a wage. We need as many people as
possible to support the sale of these CD's and would really appreciate your
help in putting the word out there.”


Henry Shefflin along with Liam McCarthy extend an invitation to you to
the Newpark Hotel, Kilkenny on Thursday 22nd November at 8.00 p.m. for
the launch of "The Spirit of Christmas" CD in association with the
Building of Hope Project. The CD was recorded by the children who attend the
Likoni School for the Blind in Mombasa, Kenya. 183 volunteers from all over
Ireland travelled to Mombasa in January and February 2012 and built a
home for these blind children. Outside of Co. Clare, the largest number of
volunteers came from the Kilkenny-Carlow area.


The CD comprises of 8 Christmas Carols. The children put a great effort
into the recording of the CD as they had to learn the words through braille and
in English. The CD will be on sale on the night for €10 each and all proceeds
will be used by the charity for the children's medical, social and educational
needs. Come along and meet Henry and Liam and support a very worthy cause.
