Preparations For Carnstock 05

Carnstock 05 is a fundraising festival which will take place in and around Carndonagh, between the 8th and 12th September, with all proceeds going to Concern.

The festival has been organised by local community members in conjunction with the local Garda Síochána and Donegal County Council. Events in the festival include live music on the street, a monster pub quiz, the King of Carnstock 05 competition, family fun day and much more.

All proceeds raised through this project will be sent straight to Concern to help build three schools in Sierra Leone, in the Northern Region, Tonkalili District and Kholifa Rowalla Chiefdom. The goal is to support the Sierra Leone Government to revive quality educational services in rural communities. This money will aid Concern in assisting local authorities and communities to improve the existing primary school facilities in Tonkalili District.

Three schools will be constructed, the first by Concern directly with the local NGO partner paralleling appointments and the two others implemented by the local NGO partner. The project includes community inputs with materials and labour in kind, strengthening of the CTAs, and training of teachers and capacity building of the district inspectorate.
