Last week, Colaiste Eanna in Rathfarnham welcomed Kenny Matampash to their school. Kenny, who is from the Maasai tribe in Kenya, spoke to a large group of second years in the school.
This summer, I got the chance to spend some time in Kenya with the Concern Debates winners. In the lead up to the Fast, I’ll be visiting schools around the country and talking to students about my experiences.
Thank you all so much for your support and sponsorship. Your fasting and fundraising will help transform the lives of some of the world’s poorest people.
