Delegation of Ireland Ba í aidhm an dúshláin seo ná daoine óga a spreagadh chun labhairt as Gaeilge amháin ar feadh 24 uair an chloig – sa bhaile, ar scoil, le siopaí agus gnólachtaí, timpeall an bhaile, sa chlub spóirt agus le cairde! I meánscoil Íosa agus Muire in Inis Eiscir Abhainn, ghlac thart ar 120 dalta páirt sa dúshláin seo, eagraithe ag Ms O’Dowd. Bhí breis is 300 scoil agus 30,000 dalta ag glacadh páirt ar fud na tíre. I mbliana, cuirfear brábús a thuillfear ó Gaeilge24 i dtreo Chairde an Domhain. Is grúpa iad Cairde an Domhain a bhfuil sé mar sprioc acu dul i ngleic leis na ceisteanna ba mhó i dtaobh cheartas na timpeallachta os ár gcomhair, ó thruailliú plaistigh go briseadh síos na haeráide. The aim of this challenge was to encourage young people to try to speak Irish non-stop for one whole day – 24 hours – at home, at school, in shops and businesses, around the town, in sports clubs and with friends! In Jesus and Mary Secondary School in Enniscrone, over 120 students too

... with the Vietnamese who died in Essex recently and  their Families. Delegation of Ireland “ Is not this the fast I choose: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the strap of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke? Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, and bring the homeless poor into your house; when you see the naked to cover them, and not to hide yourself from your own kin ”. ( Isaiah 58: 6-7) Oh God, we didn’t see them, but you did, the 39 Vietnamese who died recently and who join the hundreds of thousands of human beings smuggled and trafficked each year. They are trapped and sometimes die in modern day slavery. They travel under terrible conditions, they work in factories, plough fields, harvest crops, work in quarries, fill brothels, clean homes and haul water. Many are children with tiny fingers for weaving rugs and small shoulders for bearing rifles. Their labour is forced, their bodies beaten, their faces hidden from those who don’t re

Delegation of Ireland Sr. Patricia Lynnot rjm, from the Delegation of Ireland is the director of the Killala diocesan Laudato Si’ initiative.  Killala is one of the smaller dioceses and rests along the Western seaboard! Sr. shares some recent happenings... Alton Castle, England. (1 Week, Summer 2019) Geraldine, the youngest member of our Killala diocesan group was given a bursary through CAFOD to join 60 other young people from all round the world to study Laudato Si. She was the only Irish person to attend so she was very privileged indeed. Our thanks to Bishop John who sponsored her flights. While there she was invited to speak about our diocesan Laudato Si’ project.  As we can see from the photos she actively engaged through inviting people to commit to care for the earth by adding a link in the chain. It was not all hard work! I hear she taught some Irish dancing as well!

Casa de Familia Jesús-María  Trafalgar  Provincia de España En el mes de junio se realizó un taller sobre las tres R (Reducir, Reutilizar y Reciclar) con los/as 6 adolescentes y el equipo educativo de la Casa de Familia. En él profundizamos sobre cómo mejorar nuestro compromiso de cuidar el medio ambiente. Reafirmamos la necesidad de minimizar los residuos, de reutilizar todo lo posible y de saber cómo reciclar objetos menos evidentes. El taller se centró sobretodo en reciclar. Los objetivos concretos fueron: Ampliar el conocimiento de los/as adolescentes en cuanto al reciclado Dar la importancia que tiene el reciclado de objetos Poner en práctica ejemplos cotidianos, no evidentes La metodología consistió: Visualización de un vídeo explicativo que nos ayudó a plantear ¿quién sale beneficiado y quién perjudicado ante tanta basura que se genera? ¿qué podemos hacer? Con los cubos de basura para reciclar valoramos dónde irían distintos objetos, (que antes hemos buscado), para ello nos ayud
