Thanks to the school bake sale on Parents’ Day in May 2022, which yielded €2400, and another most generous fundraising event involving parents of past pupils, sufficient funds were raised to meet the cost of installing a solar power system in a school in Kenya.
It was the school where the last ‘crew’ of Glenstal boys had worked, namely Pattersons Memorial School.
Now the young African students have electricity in all classrooms and can study at night!
Power can be diverted to different parts of the school as needs arise. Such good fortune cannot be assumed in remote parts of Sub-Saharan Africa, and the African youths are very glad of this improvement.
We extend the deepest gratitude to all who supported this project last year!
