Coffee Morning in Naas Garda Station in aid of charity building project in South Africa
A local member of an Garda Síochána, Garda Turlough MacMahon hosted a coffee morning at Naas Garda Station in aid of Mellon Educate.
Turlough will be heading to South Africa with Mellon Educate for his 10th Building Blitz.
After 16 hugely successful years of building houses and recently transitioning to building schools, the Mellon Educate is continuing mission is to educate as many children as possible in some of South Africa's poorest townships through a new school building programme.
This ambitious new project not only involves a group of volunteers travelling to South Africa for one week to physically build and refurbish these schools and classrooms, but also the prosperous results initiative known as "Mellon Educate Results Programme" commences after the Building Blitz Week.
Overall, with the help of volunteers, the Charity's aim is to help change the educational landscape and improve the lives of as many children as possible.
Niall Mellon, founder and CEO of Mellon Educate was also there to support Turlough and speak with guests.
Turlough also thanked his colleagues, friends and Rushe's Supervalue in Naas for helping with refreshments on the day.
