GOING GLOBAL
We are in the midst of a global crisis, with a virus spreading rapidly
across the world. Sadly a barrage of misinformation is also spreading
as virulently, and it is even resulting in racist attacks - shame on
us! Instead of turning on one another in the face of this international
emergency, we need to come together to find a solution. Diseases do
not discriminate, and neither should we. Photo> Rob Roach

Who would choose to sleep rough in winter? Shockingly, many young
teenagers – like Grace – have no choice.
Grace left home at 16 to escape her stepfather. But after losing her
job, she couldn’t afford her rented room, and found herself homeless.
She spent six freezing weeks sleeping in an abandoned car – until the
bitter cold took its toll and she fell seriously ill.
Thankfully, once she left hospital, YMCA provided Grace with a room,
and support from us to build a more stable future. If we hadn’t been
there, who knows what might have happened.
But since 2010 there has been an 165% rise in the number of people
rough sleeping in the UK, and as temperatures drop, the dangers
increase. So please will you help provide someone like Grace with
a safe, warm room at a YMCA?

receiving a very generous donation from Jimmy Page, the Led Zeppelin rock icon, who witnessed
first hand the deprivation of the children and troubles in the favelas whilst playing in Rio de
Janeiro. The money donated was used towards buying a house on a plot of land in Santa Teresa,
a district of Rio de Janeiro. ʻCasa Jimmyʼ has provided a safe and happy home for 500 young
children and pregnant teenage girls who were either living on the streets, or leading lives of great
deprivation and vulnerability.
In addition to Casa Jimmy, over the years, Task Brasil has run a number of houses for Street
Children, teenage boys, teenage girls and their babies.
Task Brasil now operates socio-educational programmes for the disadvantaged or at risk youth in
Rio as well as supporting the needs of ex-residents so that they have the opportunity to thrive in
life and are able to live in harmony with their family and community away from the streets.

AMAZING Art RENOIR @ Royal AcademySligo’s archaeological and mythological heritage is incredibly rich. This
ancient county is filled with over 5,000 archaeological sites. Carrowmore
Megalithic Cemetery is the largest collection of megalithic tombs in Ireland.
Above the western shore of Lough Arrow, in the beautiful limestone upland
of the Bricklieve Mountains, is the impressive passage tomb cemetery of
Carrowkeel. CreevyKeel Court Tomb, in the foothills of Tievebaun Mountain,
is one of the best examples of a court tomb in Ireland. Knocknashee (The Hill
of the Fairies), located near Tubbercurry, is a spectacular limestone tabletop
plateau commanding a panoramic view of the north Connaught plain.
Renowned the world-over as a mecca for surfers, Sligo offers an array of
outdoor activities. From walking trails in stunning landscapes to
championship links golf courses, stand up paddle boarding, offshore diving,
and kiteboarding: Sligo has it all.
There are also ample destinations for a relaxed afternoon of fishing or an uplifting
horse-ride along the beach. With its stunning coastline, there are many great
beaches throughout Sligo, including Mullaghmore Beach, Streedagh, Strandhill and
Enniscrone, and they all offer spectacular scenery and plenty of outdoor activities.
Easy-going terrains set in beautiful forests; hills and lakesides are accessible for
families and make for a great day out. Longer trails like the Sligo Way (74km walking
route that traverses the county) or the Miners’ Way and Historical Trail offer more
challenging routes for the dedicated walker. Popular walking routes include Queen
Maeve’s Trail on Knocknarea, Benbulben Gortarowey Trail, and The Devil’s
Chimney
After a long day of activities, it’ll be a relief to know that a huge variety of appealing refreshments are close at hand. Sligo is a fantastic
foodie destination. There is plethora of exciting Food Trail experiences, from craft beer tours to baking classes or a lunch on the
seashore with your ancestors. Take a Sligo Food Tour and meet the proud personalities behind Sligo food who will tell you fascinating
local stories about where the food comes from and how it is produced. At the Sligo Oyster Experience, visitors can indulge in Sligo Bay
Oysters at WB’S Coffee House, while they are guided by owner Aisling through the history and current farming methods of harvesting
oysters on the Wild Atlantic Way. Visit sligooysterexperience.ie for more information.

Not Natural
George Curtis
£9.95 paperback
“Like slavery and apartheid,
poverty is not natural. It is man-
made and it can be overcome
and eradicated by the actions of
human beings”
Nelson Mandela
Why is it that those who produce the wealth, the workers, re-
ceive only a small portion of what they have produced? What
is the privilege that grants some a lion’s share of the product
without having to work for it?
This book traces the cause of poverty to a widely accepted
social institution and reveals a way in which this defect could
be remedied by introducing a more efficient way of funding
government.
