On Saturday 21st and Sunday 22nd of February the youth for Unity will spend a weekend in the Millford Care Centre in Limerick. As youth for unity we want to build bridges across all the barriers that divide e.g. age, class, culture to make a united world, following Pope Francis’ invitation to reach out to others.
We are going to a centre for the elderly who are so often forgotten in our society and look forward to getting to know them and build friendships with them.
