We are once again supporting the St. Michael’s House Bring a book, Buy a book 2015. Book lovers are asked to bring books from their home and buy those from their colleagues for €2. This can be hosted in a School, Club or Business. There are over 90,000 books exchanged during this week raising over €38,000 for Intellectual Disability.
Funds raised through the campaign will directly support the 2015 FETAC educational project for young adults with intellectual disabilities. There are nine course options to date in areas of health, finance and technology. This formal Fetac level 2 qualification will enable adults to improve their opportunities to further their education and to seek employment.
Irish rail are supporting book Pop up Shops based in Connolly or Heuston during this week. Take a browse and buy a book to help support St. Michael’s House services. Look out for the daily ‘Golden Ticket’ prizes that will pop-up in each of the shops. Win a prize at each Pop up shop!
Follow @stmichaelshouse on twitter and facebook for a clue each day to help you get on the right track!
