Buncrana students bring smiles to elderly faces

Scoil Mhuire pupils host free senior citizens Christmas party
A group of big-hearted Inishowen students brought some early festive cheer into the lives of scores of elderly people here after hosting a free Christmas party.
Scoil Mhuire, Buncrana pupils raised all the funds for the senior citizens bash themselves, inviting residents from all three residential homes in the area; the Nazareth House, the Buncrana Nursing Unit and Beach Hill Manor.
Running a copper-hunt to gather funds for food, musical entertainment and Christmas decorations, the students put on a six-hour party, attended by enthusiastic pensioners at the Lake of Shadows hotel last Friday.
