The Guide Dogs came to visit us recently and every class got to meet a dog and hear about the wonderful work that is being performed at the Irish Guide Dogs Association. The handlers explained about the different types of dogs they train and also the two types of dog training they carry out. They train guide dogs to assist people with visual impairment and also assistance dogs who work with children with a disability, they are particularly good with children with autism.Like all charities they are finding fundraising challenging in these days of recession. Each year the children of Scoil Nioclais make a coin trail where they collect coins and then make a mosaic -type picture on the floor of the hall with all the coins. The coins are then given to charity and this year the guide dogs will be the recipients. The coin trail took place on Friday 25th March.
