This morning, two incredible boys in my class, Lucas and Adam, handed me an envelope with €330 inside — a donation for TNN.
They’ve been quietly collecting plastic bottles and cans at home and saving the cash equivalent. Their kindness, effort and generosity has blown me away.

Tralee school teacher and ‘Big Baba’ to over 70 children in Tanzania, Derek O’Connor has been looking up from the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro to the summit of Africa's tallest mountain for 14 years – now the time has come for him to climb to the top.

From Kerry to Kilimanjaro for Tír na nÓg!
On July 20th, 7 of us — Derek, Brendan, Gary, Timmy, Niamh, Orla & Kessy — are taking on Kilimanjaro to raise €11,790 for the Tír na nÓg Children’s Foundation. That’s twice the mountain’s height (5895m)

I am deeply honoured to be named Kerry Person of the year. To be recognised by the people of Kerry, and by the Kerry Association of Dublin, means more to be than words can express. It is an incredible privilege to receive such an award from my own community.
