Shimna raises funds to help asylum seekers

Shimna Amnesty International members donated £200 to Home Start this week to support local asylum seeker families.


The students organised a raffle raising money to provide newly arrived children with essential school supplies and art materials.


"These students have been Amnesty members since year 8 and are leaving school shortly," says Shimna teacher Mairi McCurdy. "They will, without doubt, be continuing their activism and bringing positive change wherever they go."


L-R: Shimna Students Mia Pobloth, Rosie Torney, Katie Waddell, Uisce Daley with Kirsty Cable and Aislinn Waddell from Home Start
