In the spirit of Easter and community outreach, young professionals from JCI Galway, a non-profit organisation dedicated to creating positive change, visited the St. Bernadette's Children's Unit and emergency department at University Hospital Galway during the Easter holidays.
Clad in Easter Bunny and Star Wars costumes, they brought smiles, chocolate, and joy to the young patients, spreading happiness and patience throughout the ward.
The event showcased the dedication of Galway's young generation, aged 18-35, to making a difference in their community. Led by Rita, the community director, the idea behind the event was to bring joy to children during the Easter festival, particularly those who are spending the holiday in the hospital.
The team also aimed to express gratitude to the nurses for their tireless efforts in caring for the patients. JCI Galway, an affiliate of Junior Chamber International (JCI ), is a global network of young active citizens, with over 150,000 members worldwide and a mission to empower young people to create positive change.
Through projects like today's hospital visit, JCI Galway demonstrates its commitment to making a real difference in the city and county. As a non-profit organisation, JCI Galway relies on the support of patrons and sponsors to carry out its projects and support the local community.
One such sponsor, Umbrella Asian Tapas, located at 2 Middle St, Galway, H91 RRP8, generously contributed to today's event, reflecting their commitment to active citizenship and community engagement. JCI Galway welcomes more businesses to become partners and sponsors, offering them recognition and direct access to a diverse group of highly motivated young professionals. Information about partnership opportunities is available on the JCI Galway website.
In line with its mission, JCI Galway encourages young adults from different backgrounds to join them in creating positive change in the community.
