In St Lawrence College Junior School we are currently supporting the Make a Wish charity with our very own tree of wishes hanging for all to see and appreciate. A donation of €2 contributes to a wonderful cause that brings joy to children in need. Our families are always more than willing to lend a helping hand to a worthy cause and our children learn about the benefit of giving to those less fortunate.
The Make a Wish charity began in Greece in 1997 and is a renowned organisation which supports children in serious health crises. They say:
'Together, we create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.
It’s more than a wish. It is about empowering the impact.
It is about the strength, the hope, the joy and the believing in life again.
Help us grant wishes to empower children with critical illnesses.'
