Haiti Children & Schools – IPPN Fundraiser
Over €40,000 has been fundraised by primary schools across the country to provide relief for the victims of the Haiti earthquake.  IPPN has distributed these funds to Trocaire, the Louise Ivers Fund and to the Haven Project.  The money will be used by these organisations to assist children and to re-build and equip primary schools that were devastated by the earthquake.  Cheques continue to arrive at our support office from schools and we will continue to allocate your donations until the end of this school year.

Swine Flu Vaccination
The HSE swine flu vaccination programme for school children will end on the 31st March 2010.  However, the HSE recommends that hygiene awareness continues in order to prevent the possible spread of this and other infections in schools.  Information on best practice in the prevention of infection in schools is provided via an information sheet through DES Circular 27/2010.
