Here are some recent photos from a blanket distribution by PDP group at a Naboasha.
Naboasha centres are informal centres for students who are struggling with school work. Our tutors are there to help them get back on track! We support schools to prevent drop outs at an early age

Consider making a difference over the holidays by making a donation to HOPE. We deliver vital protection, education, and healthcare to street connected children who are living in difficult of circumstances.

Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas for the children enrolled in our HOPE Chitpur Sponsorship Programme as they were invited for the Christmas tree lighting ceremony at The Westin Kolkata.

We really can't thank all the staff and the management enough for their enthusiasm.

Thanks An Post. Overwhelmed by the letters and cards arriving at our home. The love and kindness I am receiving from everyone is uplifting.

I'm fully vaccinated and I have had my booster. No, I don't know "what's in it". Neither this vaccine or the ones I had as a child. Nor do I know what's in the 11 secret herbs and spices at KFC.

A lovely surprise from my long time family friend Kate Browne, who has the fab Be U Beauty Salon & Clinic in Kimmage. Kate’s Mum Margaret Browne (pictured) was a brilliant chef and personality at her East Cork Ballymakeigh House, who died too young and is sadly missed by us all.

The children were so so happy not only to be present for the ceremony but to also get a tour of the hotel and the best part was that the head chef baked a cake with everyone ❤

What a lovely day it was!

Thank you to the Westin Hotel for your hospitality!

Get ready for next year! Save the Date - May 28th 2022. Half a million euro has been raised virtually over two years due to the generosity of the legal profession. We hope to be back in person next year and possibly even in the form of a hybrid event. Watch this space!
