Action Ireland Trust Lesotho

Each February, Portmarnock Community School sends more than 50 transition year students, parents, teachers and friends with a cross section of skills in construction, health and education to engage in a program of work in impoverished areas in countries in Southern Africa.

For the last 5 years this work has centered on the Lusikisiki community in The Eastern Cape, South Africa: An area which has been devastated by the HIV virus in recent years. This was in support of the work of the charities, “Friends In Ireland” and “Amawele”.

As part of the program each student needs to raise funds to help build and enhance the education facilities in the designated area. Our team has the aim of raising 1500 Euro to purchase materials and equipment that we will use to help improve the facilities at the schools.

Please support us as we perform activities in like sponsored walks, sponsored cycling , bag packing and many more.
