Robin Hood, from DEBRA Ireland spoke to TY students about his daughter's fight with skin disease, Tuesday, 8th February
On Tuesday, 8th February, Robin Hood from the organisation DEBRA Ireland, came to our class to tell us about the work they do. He told us his own personal story about his extremely brave daughter who lost her life to the skin disease Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB). The class found Robin's talk very moving. Some have decided to do some fundraising for them and some are thinking about doing their Community Week here!
