The community of St Paul’s High School is very proud of the International Projects which offer pupils the opportunity to visit countries around the world, and bring much-needed help and assistance to people who are less well off the those of us at home. One of the biggest International Projects undertaken at St Paul’s is the annual visit to the Parish of Londiani in Kenya, where over the last ten years over £200,000 has been donated to the people there.

To celebrate ten years of this project, a special night was held recently in the Carrickdale Hotel where past pupils and staff who have visited Kenya had the opportunity to meet again, and share stories and swap memories of their time in Kenya.

Guest of Honour was Father Martin Barry, parish priest of Londiani and a native of Glenmire, County Cork, who is the generous host to the St Paul’s pupils when they visit each year.

Principal, Mr Oliver Mooney, and Chaplain, Father Dermot Maloney, along with Head Girl, Aoife Malone, who visited Kenya in February, presented a cheque for £3000 to Father Martin to kickstart this year’s fundraising efforts.

As part of the night’s celebrations we launched a commemorative DVD remembering the ten years of projects from St Paul’s. You can watch the film here:
