On Monday 31st May we held the local launch of our book 'The Optimism of Youth' in the school. Self Help Africa will host the national launch of the book in September.
All contributors to the book were invited and we had guests from Galway, Carlow, Meath, Dublin, Derry, and Kildare. After some refreshments served by the students, and a few speeches Mrs Maria Barry, Principal St Wolstans Community School, officially launched the book.
The students were, rightfully, very pleased with the beautiful book that was produced as a result of all their hard work.
Many thanks to Patsy Toland and George Jacob of Self Help Africa, Alan Davis, graphic designer, the Assistant Principals for organising the launch, Ms Clodagh Ward MC, and to the student editorial team for their passion for justice.
The book will be available from the school and through the Self Help Africa website.

The Optimism of Youth
Welcome to our blog. Here we will document the work we are doing on compiling our book "The Optimism of Youth" based on Millennium Development Goal No 2 - Universal Primary Education by 2015. We are being supported in this project by Self Help Africa
Do you have a reflection on your primary school days, a poem to share, perhaps a photograph from those days? Our aim is to highlight the importance of primary education and why MDG No 2 is such a vital goal.
All contributions are welcome and can be sent to towards2015@gmail.com
