The delegation of students, teachers and sisters from Loreto schools throughout Kenya were warmly welcomed by the Kenyan Ambassador to Ireland, where they had a very enjoyable meeting.

On Saturday evening the group returned to Emmaus, Swords, where they began their visit to Ireland,  for a final workshop before departure for Nairobi.

During the workshop, the students, teachers and sisters outlined the highlights of their two-week visit and what they had learnt during their stay.

Without exception they spoke of the warmth they had experienced in their Irish "foster homes, in the schols and in the convents and how people went out of their way to ensure that they felt at home and got a flavour of the "Irish experience", in every sense of that phrase!
