Three children from Orlagh’s Sixth Class who co-ordinated the Our World Irish Aid Awards Project will be representing BETNS at the Regional Finals on May 19.  To be shortlisted for the Regional Finals is a great achievement as we are one of only fifteen schools in Leinster to make it through to this stage.

Well done to the co-ordinating team and to all the children involved from Orlagh’s Sixth Class!

The Our World Irish Aid Awards is an exciting and educational awards programme which explores how Irish Aid is working to achieve the United Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDG’s) to fight world poverty and to create a better future for children and their families in developing countries.

Check out the video below to learn more about the MDG’s and to see our full project entitled MDG’s – The Movie.  You can also just watch the rap we produced if you’d prefer.
