Bursary Cheque Presentations – June 2014

Ormskirk Circle were privileged to present a number of Bursary Fund Awards recently including one in St Anne’s Ormskirk to John Ireland going with the Edmund Rice Family from St Mary’s College, Crosby to Lourdes on the HCPT Easter Pilgrimage. John was presented with his cheque by Membership Officer, Michael Brooks and it transpired that John was the only male pupil going from his school. Well done John and we trust you had a wonderful experience on this your first visit to Lourdes.

Tony Devine presented Jessica Ebo with her cheque for £350 to help her in Uganda. Jessica has already been once but is returning to further help the families out in Mugalike, Uganda. She will be there for five weeks in July and August and will be helping to lead a group of twelve other young people who are going to build a hostel for children so that they have a home to stay in, a place in which to do their school work to help them succeed with their education and an opportunity to meet with other children in the village. The hostel that they build will be vital for the expanding village in order to prevent homelessness and to try and control poverty.

Just some of the great work that the Bursary Fund is able to do as a result of the donations brothers make to it. So keep the donations coming!
