€580 raised for Rebuild for Bosnia Event

Leixlip Tennis Club hosted Junior and Senior charity competitions on 26 February 2011 and 20 March 2011 respectively in aid of Rebuild for Bosnia. The competitions were extremely well organised by Ciara Daly and Saoirse Kennelly

There was a great turnout for the competitions with a total of €580 being raised.

Leixlip Tennis Club are delighted to support the ‘Rebuild for Bosnia’ initiative by the transition year students in Confey College whose fundraising efforts have been ongoing for the past year.

A number of students will be travelling to Bosnia this coming May to assist in re-homing families who were greatly affected by the war which only happened fifteen years ago. The charity concentrates on helping the most vulnerable families and especially those who are physically challenged. These families are currently living in refugee camps and have not had a permanent home since the war.

The students who travel to Bosnia we will be helping families furnish and move into their new home that they helped raise funds for.
