A group of students from Dunamase College are set to travel to India on an immersion programme in Kolkata.
The students are currently working hard to raise €2,500 for the Hope Foundation, a group which works to improve the lives of impoverished children in the Indian city.
The students are holding a fundraising event on Saturday June 1, at 11am.
The event titled ‘Walk for Hope’ is a family friendly, group walk through Emo Court which will be a wonderful event supporting a selfless initiative.
The entry fees for the event are €10 for adults, €5 per child or €25 for a family.
Teachers and students alike are immensely excited for the event that is benefiting a very good cause.
The school stated: “The immersion trip to Kolkata is a remarkable opportunity for our students to gain firsthand experience of global issues and to contribute to the well-being of others.
“The Walk for Hope is a great way for our community to get involved and support these dedicated young individuals.”
Those unable to attend the event can still contribute to the fundraising efforts via the qr code below.
