Local pupils’ generosity help rescue Nepalese street kids

The founder of an Irish charity which rescues street kids in Nepal has praised the children of West Cork for helping him save countless lives.

Just One founder Declan Murphy was speaking yesterday in Kilmeen National School, near his native Clonakilty, as the school hosted a seaweed cookery fundraiser.

Mr Murphy, who founded the charity in 2004, was accompanied by Sati Balami, a teacher with the charity, and by Bimal Gurung, a young Nepalese man who was saved from a life on the streets of Kathmandu, and who is now working with Mr Murphy to save other at-risk kids.
