Youth Initiative Project Wins Prize
This years St Patrick's day parade in Maynooth was joined by 'Meanparg' the friendly giant. The 12 foot high puppet wowed the spectators of Maynooth village and won First Prize!
Service users with St John of God Kildare services in both Pathways, (a community based day service) and Genil (training service) helped to create and build the giant puppet thanks to a grant from Léargas.
Leargas is a not-for-profit organisation that operates under the aegis of the Department of Education and Skills and the Office of the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs. Léargas manages European, national and international exchange and cooperation programmes in education, training and youth and community work and has been managing such programmes for over 20 years.
Congratulations to everyone involved in the project
