A total of 4632 boxes were collected in Laois for the Team Hope Shoe Box Appeal. Many thanks to Our Lady’s Meadow School, St Tigherneach’s School, Glanbia (c/o Ber Mooney), Happy Days Creche and the many individuals who distributed boxes in the Durrow-Cullohill area. Also, a big thank you to all the people from the Durrow-Cullohill area who helped out in processing the boxes at the depot in Portlaoise. These boxes are now on their way to deserving children in schools, hospitals and orphanages in Albania to brighten up their Christmas. Many thanks again to all concerned – Kay Downey.
