Pictured are some of the 150+ who did the annual Mushera Christmas Day Climb today in aid of Suicide Aware. Early climbers were hit with fog and rain, but those that were a bit late were treated to a lovely day of sunshine on top. Well done to all involved, and if you didn’t meet Mary at the bottom, you can get your sponsorship card from her at 087-6800698, or from any of the Aubane Social Club members. continue reading…

Conor Hartnett from the Clara Road has recently moved to Rio de Janeiro to work as a volunteer in the favelas (slums) with kids for 6 months maybe longer. His project called IASESPE is a community centre providing a safe haven for kids away from the drug dealers, to provide education, lunches, games, talks on drugs and extra education, as well as a place they can come and feel safe and off the streets.
They have made a video describing the project (which you can see at the bottom of this post) in which Conor appears numerous times, and where he explains the situation, and the need for funding to keep the project alive. “It would be amazing and a huge help if you could donate or SHARE this link with friends family and work colleagues.” Conor explains much better in his letter:
