Tony Conway tragically passed from this life on Wednesday 19th October 2011. Tony was part of the first volunteer trip to help renovate the Nyasidhi School in Western Kenya, in October 2006, and thereafter became an active member of Granaghan Outreach.

Below is the journal as kept by the group of girls that travelled to Zambia in July 2010.

While we were in Zambia we completed a group diary of every day we were there. As it would be impossible to go through every day, I have taken out a few paragraphs of different days that I feel will put across as best I can, how good an experience we had and hopefully if anyone reading this is on the fence about going on a trip with Granaghan Outreach this will convince you, it is an experience of a lifetime…..

Below is a letter from one of the missionary priests in Burma, where we recently sent a donation.

Greetings to all the members and supporters of Granaghan Outreach. I hope you all keep well.

Sr. Bridget Quinn departed Swatragh in 1972 and went to Cameroon as a “Sister of Christ”. She immediately recognized the need for health care and nursing and she came back to the UK, trained as a nurse and completed further training on “Tropical Diseases”

Fr Tom McDonnell recently forwarded us more photos of the children the are benefiting from the feeding program in Sudan, which we made a donation towards last year.

The 2010 Granaghan Outreach team has recently returned after completing a sixth successful project in Kenya. This year’s project was the new build of classrooms at the Tigithi School.

Granaghan Outreach would to invite you to an information evening on Sunday 12th December at 6pm in Swatragh Resource Centre. The 2010 teams will give a short presentation detailing each trip.

Our 2010 golf day was an amazing success. We had a higher number of teams taking part than in any of our previous days, no doubt aided by the great day’s weather that we had.

Preparation is underway for our annual golf day to be held in Moyola Park Golf Club on Friday 10th September 2010.
