THE ROAD TO ROUNDWOOD
A local group is being set up to give a helping hand to those displaced in one of the world’s largest humanitarian crisis of our time. The Syrian Civil War has resulted in 11 million displaced Syrians. The Road to Roundwood is a community sponsorship project which will help a family integrate into our community in Roundwood rather than enter direct provision. If you feel you would like to support this project we are holding an information night in Roundwood Parish Centre on Tuesday 28th January at 7pm. For further information contact Loraine Creane on 089 4576602 or check out http://www.integration.ie/…/p…/community_sponsorship_ireland
