PUTTING all your eggs in the one basket has helped those least well off in our society.
John the Baptist Community School in Hospital donated a massive cheque for €6,445.77 to the Redemptorists' annual hamper appeal. The LCA 2 class donated €165 of their profits from selling eggs as part of their mini company.
The money was raised by donations from students, parents and staff and the parents association who generously gave €500. Talented musician, Alanna Griffin, first year student, and her mother and friend donated €555.77 raised from busking at a Christmas market. It all added up to an incredible amount.
