Zambia Immersion Project
2017
On previous immersions, the teams had gone to Mufulira in Northern Zambia. Here they worked with the Christian Brothers in schools, in the hospice and building infrastructure. This year the Christian Brothers in Zambia had to cancel the project. The school were very fortunate to make an alliance with SERVE www.serve.ie to continue with the project in Zambia. This year the team will be heading to a new area in Zambia, Mazabuka. We are looking forward to working with SERVE on the ground in Zambia in various of their projects including the school and the farm.

There are a lot of fundraising activities this year, ball runs, table quizzes, bag packing, coffee mornings, busking etc. The main one this year being a Night at the Dogs on the 3rd of March in the Greyhound Track in Curraheeen.
All of the students, their teachers and parents have put in huge efforts to reach this year’s fund raising target.
The College and this year’s Zambia team remain grateful to all in C.B.C. and in the wider Cork community for the much needed funds which are made available through the many fund-raising endeavors of students and their parents. These funds are used to support and develop projects on the ground in Zambia run by SERVE.
