Hi Everybody,

My name is Corey Fogarty and I am an upper 6th student and prefect at St Mary’s Grammar Scool Belfast. I am a member of the school and St James’ Aldergrove Gaelic teams, a committed team player and hoping to attend University in October having completed my A levels. I have been chosen by my school to go to Zambia to take part in a Social Immersion Project. Whilst this will provide me with an opportunity to understand poverty and discrimination at a totally different level to what we see here in Northern Ireland, it also offers me a chance to achieve a personal goal to exercise civic responsibility and make a significant and valuable difference to a needy cause. Whilst this is a life changing experience for me I hope it will also bring huge value to the schools and pupils I will work with in Zambia.

Over the last few months I have done various fundraising events including pub quizzes, coffee mornings, bag packing and what I am most proud of.....an 8 hour spinathon (my cover photo was taken half way through ☺️) But I still need to raise £600 to meet my target commitment to the Project Organisers. If you can help towards my fund raising in any way I would be most grateful.
