Overseas
Mission:
Sheena Cadoo (a parishioner currently studying speech therapy in
England) is hoping to travel to Uganda this summer to participate
in a combined building and teaching project. She will be working
in a local school teaching conversational English, maths and other
subjects, and will also be helping complete the construction of
a new orphanage for children with AIDS in the region. She is currently
fundraising for the trip by completing the 3 Peaks Challenge (climbing
the three highest mountains in Great Britain within 24 hours). Lennon
Neary (another parishioner, and TCD scholar) is going to Madagascar
in July with a team working for Habitat for Humanity to build homes
for the poorest people. He wishes to thank all those who supported
his fundraising events.
