Emnet MDG trip to Carlow

We went to Carlow town a few weeks ago with Ms.L for a workshop on the Millenium Development Goals (MDG). We arrived in Carlow and went into a hall where we were divided into 4 groups with students from the other 2 schools (Clane and Carlow) and were put into a different workshop. The first one we went to was with a girl called Tara. She was in he B.T. Young Scientist and won with making a steam cooker. She then went to Africa with a TV crew from RTE and showed women in the 3rd world how it worked. We watched parts of the programme and she was telling us about studying development in college. After break we went into another workshop about HIV and AIDS and we learned the facts of the diseases. After lunch we then went to another workshop with a man who was a teacher in South Africa and he was telling us about being a teacher in South Africa and the life of the people there. All the workshops were linked in with the MDGs and I found the whole workshop enjoyable :)
