Providence is a school for very underprivileged children who for financial reasons cannot afford to go even to free schools.
The funds raised by 32 IRELAND 32 will go towards ensuring that the 5 qualified local teachers ( now in Providence School and totally committed to giving these marginalized children some opportunity in life) will be paid. Monthly pay works out at around Euro 80 each per teacher. Yes, Euro 80, not a misprint. To date it is a monthly chore for Br Steve to come by this money…always trusting in Providence. Providence is not only the name of the school; it also portrays the Edmund Rice aspect ………. if it’s God’s will that it (the school) will run, it will run.
