SERVE would like to say a huge thank you to our intern, Dan Lynch, for all his work with us over the past few months. Dan was on placement with us as part of his degree in International Development and Food Policy at University College Cork.
Dan first volunteered with us in 2021 as part of our TGAL programme, teaching online conversational English classes to children and young adults through SERVE’s partner, Centre for Sustainable Development Studies (CSDS) in Vietnam.
During his internship, Dan stepped up to support Team SERVE in everything that was needed – be it preparing promotional materials or coordinating volunteers.
It’s important that we mention Dan’s invaluable creative contribution to planning fundraising events, especially the upcoming 5-a-Side Soccer Tournament.
Above all, Dan painted new giant SERVE flip flops and even wore one proudly during our Flip Flop Appeal.
The highlight of his SERVE placement was planning and taking part in our 4 Peaks Challenge in June, where he conquered Ireland’s highest provincial peaks and raised vital funds for SERVE’s work.
Dan is now volunteering in kids’ summer camps in Argentina before returning to UCC in September for his final year.
It has been a privilege to have worked with him, we wish him all the best in his future career in International Development and look forward to seeing him at our Soccer Tournament on Sept 10th!
