CO. MONAGHAN, IRELAND
Project Children's Move to Monaghan Peace Campus
To mark the 50th anniversary milestone for Project Children, and to ensure its message of peace through the eyes of children spreads for generations, Project Children has forged a cultural partnership with Monaghan County Council and the Peace Campus in Monaghan town, dedicated to cross community and cross border peace initiatives across the island of Ireland.
This partnership will see the protection, preservation and perpetuation of the charity's 50 year legacy at the Monaghan Peace Campus. This state of the art building will showcase the archives of this iconic organization, that offered 23,000 children a summer reprieve in America from the Troubles in Northern Ireland.
Project Children are pleased to have Catherine Flood and Linda Croston of Croston Flood Recruiting, Consulting and Events to help spearhead the archival, community engagement and fundraising efforts both in the US and Ireland.
Please join us in the coming months as we gear up for our #MoveToMonaghan
