Last week our School Community raised €3000 for the people of Ukraine.
This week we have decided as a community to set our sights even higher.
One of our teachers (Mr O'Brien, Guidance Counsellor) is in a position to drive a van load of urgently needed Paediatric Medical Supplies out to the Ukraine border over the Easter holidays. As a school community and with the support of our parents and partners in the wider community we are convinced that we can make this happen.
Please have a look at the GoFundMe link below for the bigger plan and details of how the funds are to be used.
Please support our Drive to help these vulnerable Child Refugees in whatever way you can (even if it just to share the GoFundMe link further and further.
Many thanks from the entire School Community at Skibbereen CS.
