Miss Trish Devlin

I am Head of Sixth Form and an Assistant Headteacher at St Joan of Arc School. I am very much looking forward to being part of the team visiting Udayan in February, particularly as I was there two years ago. It is a fantastic opportunity for us all and one which I am sure will have a profound effect upon us. Over the last five years Udayan has played a major role in the life of the sixth form as it has been at the centre of all our fundraising activities. Furthermore, it has now become the whole school charity. We will soon be able to see for ourselves exactly how our efforts have helped the children of Udayan and when we return to school, our memories of the visit will spur us on to help even more.

Hi, I’m Amy. The A-Levels I studied were French, Business Studies and Psychology. I finished St Joan of Arc sixth form in May. I’m aiming to go to Nottingham University the year after next to study French. During my gap year, I plan to go travelling to India, Australia, New Zealand and Thailand. rnrnI got involved in Udayan and in all the fund raising for the first trip as my sister Natalie went on it. I have been very involved over the years in raising money for Udayan itself, helping out in Light Music and Eats 1 & 2, Flavour of India 1 & 2, the barn dances and other fund raising activities. rnrnI can’t wait to meet the children of Udayan and see for myself how the money raised so far is benefiting them. I think I will have unforgettable experiences and I literally cannot wait!!! I hope that our trip will show people how the lives of the children are so much better than they would be without Udayan, and how their money could help keep the home open.rnrn
