COLAISTE PHADRAIG ZAMBIA IMMERSION PROJECT

Ten students from Coláiste Phádraig CBS, Lucan are currently fundraising for an Immersion trip to Zambia in May 2017.

The ten dedicated students along with their mentors are leaving no stone unturned in their efforts to achieve the large sum of money which is required to fund this trip.

This trip will last for a duration of ten days. It will include students and teachers working in schools/clinics during the day while spending the evenings in orphanages helping however they can.

The students will also integrate with the children by playing games and teaching them about life as a teenager in Ireland.

The three schools they plan to visit are Ngwenya, Lunda and Libuyu, all in Zambia.

The Lucan contingent will also be visiting the Lubasi Orphanage as well as the YCTC (Youth Community Training Centre).

The school views this as a once in a lifetime opportunity for the ten students.
