Sister Bernadette Visits St. John's

8th Nov 2018

On Thursday 8th Nov, we had a very special visit from Sister Bernadette Duffy. She told us all about her work in South Africa and how the people of Tullylish have given her so much support over the years. She explained how not all children were as lucky as us to have a beautiful school building and a lovely school uniform. She told us how cows sleep in her school back in South Africa at night and how they have to be put out in the mornings and the classrooms swept clean!

Conor and Holly presented Sister Bernadette with a donation of £150 for her latest project - The Okongo School Project. This money will be used to buy 15 chairs for one of the new classrooms.

It was lovely to have Sister Bernadette visit us today. We got to ask her questions about her work and we felt inspired by her. We would like to wish her a safe journey back to South Africa, next week.
