Athenry News & Views

progress will be slow ---pole, pole. 3. When accepted, we confirm realistic time-bound expectations of progress. 4. Photographic evidence from the manufacture of the first block, site clearing and staged progress must be provided. This has two-way motivational value. 5. Release funds strategically, based on achievement of interim milestones. 6. Partners are aware that “Irish eyes” will view the project and report back to the Organisation in Athenry Funding This is a ‘grassroots’ Organisation. Ordinary people with good heart and good intention work with honesty and integrity. There are no middle-men, and every cent raised goes to the project, directly via the Divine Word Missionaries to achieve our development goals. Volunteers from Athenry fund their own trips out to oversee and support the implementation of the projects. All our funds come from generous donations from the people of Athenry who support our fundraising efforts. We are hugely grateful and there’s room for everyone in our group. We’re not great!!! When anyone does something a bit unusual like going to Tanzania, people are inclined to say ‘aren’t ye great’. Tanzania is a long way away but we have only to sit on a plane to get there. Think of the cuckoo that can navigate the 9,000 kilometers from Africa to Ireland every April and back again at the end of the Summer. Aren’t they great!!!
