Over the Easter holidays , three TY Students: Dáire Lynch, Daniel Traas and Daragh Johnson along with Ms.C O Dwyer travelled to Kolkata with the Hope Foundation. The students spent the last six months fundraising for the projects and were able to see the amazing work that the volunteers from the Hope Foundation do in over 64 projects in Kolkata .
The group which comprised of over fifty Irish students spent the week in Kolkata where they visited homes run for girls and boys who have been taken out of difficult circumstances.
The group also visited slums where they witnessed the awful conditions that the people live in. The students got the opportunity to visit coaching centres , creches and hospitals which are run by the Hope Foundation.
The experience is something that will stay with the students and their teacher for the rest of their lives.
