Hamper Packing

St Vincent De Paul Hamper Packing

By Hannah Magee

On Monday the 17th of December every student in TY took part in organising the Christmas hampers for the Saint Vincent de Paul Charitable Foundation. It is an annual tradition for TY students to take part in this wonderful charity event, so it was no surprise that everyone was delighted to be involved.

More than four hundred hampers were prepared and delivered to different locations in Wicklow. The parents, teachers and students who volunteered to help and deliver the hampers have our deepest appreciation. The deliveries would not have been possible without their willingness to help out. We also want to express our gratitude to the SVP staff and teachers who helped to organise this event.

I would like to acknowledge the hard work and determination the 5th years and TY students put into creating the hampers that are given to those who are less fortunate. Charity work and volunteering is a noble cause, and a valuable way to spend a day for all the students who participated. Most of all, thank you to Ms O’ Connell for arranging this.
