Loreto Rumbek, which was founded by Irish nuns to address the lack of educational opportunities for girls in South Sudan, opened in 2008 with just 35 students and now has over 291 students, 90% of whom go on to university.
"The story of this devout Irish priest from Killarney, and skilled Vatican diplomat, is incredible to behold.”
Killarney students are to present a €1000 bursary to the principal of a girls’ secondary school in South Sudan this evening.
