Johns amani orphanage information morning

When Mullingar’s John McCauley first visited the Amani orphanage in Tanzania during a trip to photograph the country’s wildlife, he was so deeply affected by the abject conditions that the children lived in that he decided he had to do something for them.

Now, almost five years later, the future of the 32 young residents at the orphanage looks a lot brighter thanks, he says, to the “generosity of the people of the Mullingar area”.

Since John began his association with the orphanage in 2009, the money he has raised has been used to fund a range of life-changing improvements including the construction of dormitories, indoor toilets, an internet cafe and computer room, a kitchen, a milling facility, a vegetable garden and the most recently completed project, a new school.

On Friday, 27th February at 10:30am and 12:30pm John is hosting a Tea/ Coffee morning in Aras An Mhuilinn that will be an Information Morning about John’s Amani Orphanage in Tanzania. He will be showcasing pictures of all the work that your kind donations have done for the children in the Amani Orphanage. If you have any queries you can contact John on 087 6157349.
