JUST ONE TALK TONIGHT

JUST ONE TALK TONIGHT

Clonakilty man, Declan Murphy originally from Michael Collins Road, will be returning to Kathmandu in the next week where he works with the “Just One” charity he founded a over five years ago. “Just One” works with street children in Nepal. Declan comes home approximately every 12-15 months and uses his time to visit schools around the country who engage in fundraising for his organisation.

He goes in to show the children and their teachers how the money they raise through their own initiatives like cake sales and no uniform days, is used to help children of their own age at the other side of the world. Just-One supports over 80 Nepali children to access education and works closely with their respective families in an effort to break the cycle of poverty that ensnares them. The photographs he shows of impoverished and abandoned children in Nepal, and how even one euro can improve their lives, really impresses the Irish children.

Tonight (Thursday 22^nd), Declan will be presenting his annual update on Just One to the Clonakilty public who are invited to O’ Donovan’s Hotel at 8.00pm. He will be showing a new short film on the work of the organisation and discussing progress made over the last year. Everyone welcome. Please show your support for a local, unassuming young man who has sacrificed a lot over the last 5-6 years, and is making a real difference to children in a deprived part of the world.

Further information can also be found on his website www.just-one.org. For the remainder of his visit home, he may be contacted on 087-9358667.
