Kids from the Ulster Project were forced to endure a 36 hour journey home to Derry from Boston last week after their flight was cancelled at the last minute.
The Ulster Project was formed at the height of the Troubles in 1975 to work with teenagers in Northern Ireland and the United States. It aims to educate and develop them as leaders to effect change in their communities.
Each year, youngsters from Derry travel to Greenville in North Carolina and Oak Ridge and Knoxville in Tennessee. This year, those travelling home from Greenville had their return journey from Boston on July 19 cancelled, resulting in them sleeping on the floor of the airport.
