WHILE many of us may take our sight for granted students at Drumragh Integrated College are all too aware of the lack of facilities for blind and shortsighted people in developing countries.
The students are supporting Sightsavers in their work to combat blindness in areas where there is little access to modern facilities. Pupils are delighted to be able to raise funds for the Sightsavers charity which reaches out to 33 developing countries to restore eyesight, using cataract operations or even providing something as simple as glasses.
Tomorrow (Friday) a bake sale will take place at Drumragh Integrated College's Easter Fair. At the fair there will be a cake stand and various amusements including 'Guess the Name of the Dog.'
The following Friday, March 30, the college will host the Drumquin Players' production of Drumquin Fair Day. The play is a comedy set in the 1930s, during the economic war, between the Irish Free State and Great Britain. The Players are kindly donating all the proceeds from this excellent production to Sightsavers.
Tickets for adults £5 and children £2. They are available from the college or can be purchased on the night. The show commences at 8.30pm.
