Junior Achievement in Saint Patrick Loreto School Bray
Junior Achievement programs help prepare young people for the real world by showing them how to generate wealth and effectively manage it, how to create jobs which make their communities more robust, and how to apply entrepreneurial thinking to the workplace. Students put these lessons into action and learn the value of contributing to their communities.
Okay : I did it, and have to admit, this was excellent!
The program is easy to follow, you need some preparation to ease the delivery and as you can see the video the class loved it too!
I was with Miss. Barbara Dowling and the 25 girls in the class for 5 sessions to give more detail about the way a community is working.
As I was giving the classes, I could see they famous Haka, and a lot of songs where sang just for the occasion.
it was was 5 weeks of real refreshment, thanks again for this good moments!

Fota Wildlife Park
C’est depuis le county de Cork que reporte je cet apercu de Fota Wildlife Park.
Impression positive en general si l’on accepte les choses suivantes:
- le prix et le fait de tout payer
- le fast food du fond avec les mec qui nettoient TOUT avec le meme chiffon
