LAHINCH’s Máire Donohue will lead a group of volunteers to India this summer.
Máire will be travelling with the Cork based charity SERVE where she will be located in APD (The Association for People with Disability), a leading organisation focused on providing educational and support services to individuals with disabilities.
She will lead a team of volunteers, working to improve the lives of those in the community through education, skills development, and empowerment.
A primary school teacher at Gaelscoil Donncha Rua in Shannon, Máire has a history of volunteering abroad, previously spent time in Uganda and, in 2023, volunteered at the Flamboyant Special School in Zambia. Her dedication to supporting communities in need and her passion for education has inspired her to take on this new challenge.
“Volunteering has always been a part of my life,” Máire said. Having seen first hand the impact it has in communities, she is now able to share this experience with others as she leads the latest group of volunteers on SERVE’s flagship summer volunteer programme.
Her previous volunteering experiences in Uganda and Zambia have deepened her understanding of global challenges and strengthened her resolve to make a difference.
Gaelscoil Donncha Rua will hold a fun run this coming May to support Máire’s fundraising efforts.
SERVE is a development and volunteering organisation committed to providing equal opportunities for poor communities living in Southern Africa, South-East Asia, and South America.
