Why I'm Participating
I will travel to Mumbai in India as part of the Coláiste Choilm India Immersion Project.
Please support our fund-raising event "Match for Mumbai" where Coláiste Choilm Past Pupils take on the Offaly Senior Footballers
The India Immersion Project involves 15 Coláiste Choilm students, 2 past participants and 4 teachers who will travel to Mumbai in India for a 2-week period in January 2025. This is a life changing experience for the students where they will be immersed in a culture very different to their own here in Ireland. While in India they will experience everyday life there and will volunteer at Outreach Centres such as Shelter Don Bosco, the Grace Foundation and Ashadaan Mother Theresa Hospital, hoping to make a small difference to those less fortunate than themselves.
Such an ambitious project involves significant costs, including flights, vaccinations, accommodation and other necessary expenses. All students are given equal opportunity to participate in the project and consequently the project relies on fundraising to cover the costs. Any surplus money raised will be donated directly to the projects where the students will work in Mumbai. For more details see our Match for Mumbai event page.
All contributions big and small are greatly appreciated and will make a direct impact on the lives of those involved.
