Jack and Jill Tours Ireland.

As you can see from all our photos, The Jack and Jill Foundation will have visited schools in Dublin, Wicklow, Donegal, Kerry and Cavan by Halloween Break.

These visits serve two purposes. Firstly, they introduce the children to the story behind The Jack and Jill Foundation, it’s valuable work and how their schools efforts in the recycling of phones is so valuable to us.  It also gives The Jack and Jill Foundation a chance to thank each and every school it visits for their help.

Hi! We are Knockanean N.S. Our school is situated on the out-skirts of Ennis, Co. Clare. Our teachers explained to us how the Jack and Jill foundation will collect old mobile phones in exchange for a new interactive whiteboard, and we said we’d give it a go! After two weeks of collecting we have finally achieved our goal of 500 phones! We will continue collecting for another fortnight in the hope of collecting enough phones to get another whiteboard for our school! As this will save us an awful lot of money. Thank you the Jack and Jill Foundation for giving us this wonderful oppertunity!
