The Meitheal Leaders are organising a fundraiser this Friday for the Ulemu Project in Malawi. The fundraiser will take the form of a soccer tournament for 1st Years and it will run from 9.00 to 13.10. The cost of the day is €3 per student which will be donated to the Ulemu Project. Meitheal Leaders will be collecting this money tomorrow, Wednesday. Students who do not wish to participate in the soccer tournament will play indoor games in the library. 1st Years can wear their gear into school on Friday.
Follow the link below for more information on the Ulemu Project.
Thanks to the Meitheal Leaders for taking the time to organise this fundraiser.

UCD Entrance Scholars are first-year students recognised for their academic achievement who have achieved 560 points or more in their Leaving Certificate. These awards are part of a range of UCD initiatives put in place to recognise exceptional students when they join, as well as those who develop their talents while studying at UCD.
