EMERGENCY FLIGHT BRINGS STRANDED CONOR BACK HOME

Blackrock charity worker Conor Hughes found himself caught up in the global Coronavirus crisis as he was returning home from working on a project in Ghana last week.

Conor had travelled a few weeks ago to deliver and distribute several container loads of donated goods in the West African nation.

The donations included thousands of school books, blackboards, a refurbished tractor, wheelchairs, sewing machines and lots more.

Crosscause are building new homes for vulnerable kids. The initial project is to build two houses to cater for up to 15 orphaned children many of whom have been banished from their village just because of a disability.
