We were delighted to welcome Sr. Orla Treacy and her team from Loreto Rumbek to speak to us about an exciting new adventure. Loreto were approached by past pupils of Loreto Rumbek about opening a new school in Aweil, 400km from Rumbek in South Sudan. Sr. Orla has tasked each student with buying a brick, at a cost of £10, using their own money (Not their parents!)
Sr. Orla is also seeking sponsorship of secondary school students in the new school.
For details of sponsoring a student or sponsoring a brick, please see the attached post cards.
