Tiernan Byrne hasn't added a story.
My name is Tiernan Byrne and our family has been supporting the Sport for Africa charity since it was co-founded in 2005 by my Dad and St. Patrick’s Missionaries in Kiltegan. Since then, with the support of friends and family, we’ve helped with the provision of educational and care facilities across Africa including Zambia, Kenya, South Africa and Malawi. Our projects have included primary and secondary schools, a technical college, a centre for children with special needs, university housing and a children’s day-care centre.
This year we’re focusing on the build of a secondary school in Zambia. Because of the low cost of living, we need to raise just €20,000 which will provide a school for 600 pupils, lodgings for teaching staff and provide housing for animals as school fees are often paid for with animal donations. All construction is carried out by local Zambian workers and all building materials are sourced locally; hence the economic impact of the school is immense during the build period and on completion.
My small contribution is to participate in the Dingle Adventure Race on the 6th June 2015 in aid of Sport for Africa.
