Four hardy students from Queens University Belfast, will soon be heading off to Costa Rica to carry out some much needed humanitarian work, including organic farming, building initiatives and teaching English to local children. The work is carried out through the International Student Volunteers programme (more info on them and how to join can be found here).
To help get them off to a flying start, they have organised a Night at the Races event, of which Golden Popcorn is proud to be one of the events sponsors. Things get underway at Carrickfergus Golf Club on Friday 30th April, with the proceeds going towards raising those all important funds to get the students over to Costa Rica.

Movie Night helps Tanya Crusade to India
The Tudor Cinema in Comber was the setting for a Habitat for Humanity Movie Night which took place last week. The purpose of the event was to help raise some cash for Tanya Howe who is due to travel to India this summer to assist in a house building project with the Habitat for Humanity organisation.
Lisa Treacy, one of the event’s organisers told us, "Monday 22nd saw 45 friends pile into the Tudor cinema in Comber for an Indiana Jones adventure. The Last Crusade took us on a wild ride to discover the Holy Grail - along the way we were sustained by copious amounts of delicious Golden Popcorn - yummmmy! £500 was raised by the movie night, undoubtedly people's generosity was encouraged by the amazing kindness of the Golden Popcorn company! Thank-you so much!"
Golden Popcorn would like to wish Tanya and all the other Habitat for Humanity volunteers the best of luck over in India later this year.
