Project Rucksack
Lisnaskea Explorers and Network are doing two Community projects codenamed Project Rucksack and Project Schoolbag. Project Rucksack details are on the link. Project Schoolbag is similar but using schoolbags and collecting teddy bears, blankets, school supplies, toiletries and stationery. The Rucksacks will be distributed in Belfast (I've checked with various agencies and support is in place for anyone currently homeless in Fermanagh). Schoolbags will be distributed through Women's Aid in Enniskillen.
