GREAT SHOTS !!! THERE ON MY WALL ,HA HA HA !!!Teresa Well done to everybody...your all amazing,Peter
What wonderful photos after what seemed to be a truly life changing experience- Well done to you all. Ronan you really deserve a good your favourite steak for dinner on Sunday night. lots of love Pat & Patricia
Well done to you all - it has been amazing to read about your experiences and hear your thoughts and see the lovely photos. Looking forward to hearing more on your return Ronan. love Nana
It is fantastic to see the fruits of your work and to see so many smiling faces and a united group, Irish and Indian. What enormous potential in this group! Physical, concrete (pardon the pun) achievements are not focused on by the Irish Education System, but you all look very proud of the concrete structure behind you. I remember an Irish Philosopher being interviewed on the radio, and being asked "But are you happy each day?" and his response was "it's not a question of happiness, but rather, am I growing as a person daily". You all look as if you have really grown as human beings over the last 3 weeks. A special tribute to all your adult mentors over the 3 week period - it would be an overwhelming and daunting task for most people, and not one to be repeated over and over again.... All the best, Una
