Nun recognised for work with youth

A Limerick nun who helps bereaved children look forward to their future again was among 11 volunteer heroes honoured in Dublin last night for their contribution to communities.

Sr Helen Culhane was chosen from more than 450 people nominated for the fifth annual Volunteer Ireland Awards.

Sr Helen, a trained social worker who supports children affected by death, divorce, or separation, established the Children’s Grief Project three years ago.
