Very many thanks to all those who helped with the Calcutta Project last weekend. Thanks to those who helped with the coffee morning, those who donated so generously both at the church door on Saturday night and privately. Thank you also to Fr. Pat and Fr. Nigel for their kind help. In all 2000 euro was raised over the weekend. This will be sufficient to enable Eleanor Cape from the town to spend the summer as a volunteer in Calcutta, as well as making a significant money contribution to the work of the Development Action Society in India, which aims to give poor children from the edge of Calcutta a start in education.
