"As part of
our L.C.V.P we are planning to go on a trip to the National Aquatic Centre in
Blachardstown to take part in the Ian Daly Swim a Mile With a Smile event. This
is organised by a local voluntary organisation; it is an annual event that is
aimed at supporting children who have been diagnosed with cancer and their
families.
This activity
fits in with our L.C.V.P as it is a local voluntary organisation, and we will
be able to complete an action plan about the project. At the moment we are busy
planning the trip. The first thing we had to was ask our principal if we could participate
in the swim and if the co-ordinator of the event, Mr Brian Daly, could come in
and give us information about it and why it was set up. We also want to know where
the money we will be raising will be going.
We wrote a
letter to our principal asking for permission and she said yes. Next we had to
write up parental permission slips to get signed. Then we had to sort transport
to Blachardstown so we e-mailed two bus companies to get quotes. We will
probably book the cheapest one.
We still
have a lot more to plan for and next we need to write up our Action Plans for the
trip.
To find out
more about the Ian Daly Swim a Mile With a Smile go to their website here. Why
not take part in the swim yourself, or sponsor one of the LCVP class?"
