Nursery staff give up their holidays for a worthy cause

Miss Jacqueline Ramsey will work in a village school in Rwanda promoting peace and reconciliation, while Miss Kerry Eves will work in a pre-school setting in Bolivia.

Both nursery assistants recently received generous donations towards the organisations they will be representing - 'Comfort Rwanda' and 'PEPE'. The money was raised by the children of Ballyhenry Nursery who completed a sponsored trike ride in May.

Miss Ramsey and Miss Eves are looking forward to sharing their experiences of nursery education in a different culture with the pupils on their return.

Staff, parents, governors and children at the school have wished both teachers well in their summer endeavours.
