Leaving Ireland for Mongolia in 3 weeks!
This is the second and last MailChimp communication about our Mongolian Charity efforts.
Thanks so much to all who have already contributed! We have bought the van that will be donated to GoHelp on arrival. They will make good use of it, or sell it on and all funds will go to projects like their Book Gher reading project for shanty town children.
We still have a ways to go for the charity fundraising as we hope to fill the van with things from GoHelp's wish list for items we can fit
So please consider an on-line donation or come along as we have some great up-coming events:
-
Friday 14th June Free sit down session night with MicShy & other local musicians in the Mariner pub Wicklow Town, Main Street. 9pm til late. Fundraising raffle, Great prizes!
-
Saturday-15th June Put your hoe down drink free Barn Dance and Party at Carraig Dulra- food and entertainment- Parking limited so consider car sharing. Please rsvp via email or join on facebook so we have an idea of numbers for food. Thanks
-
Tuesday 18th June Wicklow Golf Club TABLE QUIZ -- this is our big one, with plenty of room for teams! €30 per table. Derry Nairn is our Quiz master and this is a great venue with amazing views of the Wicklow Coast all the way North to the Sugar Loaf. Please book in advance if possible, but tables are available on the night too.
Thanks again for your good wishes for the trip. We now have a route filled with contacts to help us volunteer along the way in gardens, permaculture projects and once we get there with children and local volunteers offering some of our knowledge and skills in permaculture, art facilitation, bee-keeping etc. We hope to bring back all we learn about human resilience, positive projects and a deeper appreciation for all we have back home in Ireland.
If you want, you can follow our blog, which we plan to update whenever we get internet access along the way.
Please pass on this email to anyone you think might be interested.
