July 2010 - The Rathmore National School in County Kildare, along with Manguard Ltd, have raised a whopping €6,900 to support Glencree's Haiti appeal.

The pupils not only pulled out all the stops to raise the impressive sum of €3,450, but they also learned all about Haiti's geography, history and demographics.
