I am celebrating a milestone birthday in May and fulfilling a long-time wish to visit my friend Fr Joe at his parish, Nabvutika in Chipata, Zambia. Roisin and I are travelling there this Easter. I have long admired Fr Joe’s dedication to his missionary work, and reflecting on my privileged life in Ireland- I feel a desire to give something back.

None of the funds raised will be used to cover our travel or personal expenses - this is entirely about giving to those who are in genuine need of our support. I promise you, every penny will go directly to this community. No donation is too small and every contribution will truly make a difference, Go raibh mile maith agat - Zikomo Deirdre
