"Help Meningitis Research and Help your local School ~ Scoil Mhuire"
Scoil Mhuire is looking for any old mobile phones. All phones are acceptable, cracked screens, no batteries, anything really. The school can swap these phones for much needed school supplies – laptops, interactive whiteboards, audio – visual equipment.
