STUDENTS from across Galway have been invited to take on a monumental challenge to scale one of the world’s tallest mountains in aid of sick children.
St Jarlath’s College Tuam hosted a special information session in recent weeks where adventurer Ian Mc Keever encouraged students from several schools in Tuam, Athenry, and Castleblakeney to consider taking on the Kilimanjaro Schools Project 2012.
The event was the only one in Galway, where up to eight students will be invited from 25 schools throughout the country to participate in the trip that aims to set a new record for the largest group to ever reach the summit of Africa’s highest mountain. *****
