In an inspiring journey of compassion and commitment, Wicklow couple Sarah and John Osborne are gearing up to meet their sponsored child in Uganda this October.
As dedicated child sponsors with World Vision Ireland, Carnew residents Sarah and John have been supporting their sponsored child, a young boy named Yazidi, and are excited to finally meet him in person.
In the spirit of giving back, Sarah and John are organising a lively pub quiz fundraiser at Kenny’s Corner House in Carnew on Friday, October 4, to benefit Yazidi’s community in Uganda.
The event kicks off at 9 p.m. and promises a night filled with fun, friendly competition, and the opportunity to make a tangible difference in the lives of children and families in Uganda.
“Meeting Yazidi is a dream come true for us,” Sarah said.
“We want to do everything we can to support his community while we’re there. The pub quiz is a great way to raise funds and raise awareness about the challenges faced by families in developing countries.”
“Every donation made will help improve the living conditions and opportunities for children like Yazidi,” John added.
“We hope the community will come together to support this important cause.”
The pub quiz will feature a range of trivia topics, prizes for the winning teams, and a raffle with fantastic giveaways donated by local businesses. Participants are encouraged to form teams of four, at €40 per team.
The funds raised from the quiz will go towards community projects in Yazidi’s village, focusing on education and health initiatives supported by World Vision – a relief, development and advocacy organisation dedicated to helping the most vulnerable children, families and communities overcome poverty and injustice.
“Join Sarah and John for a night of fun and fellowship and help them take a step closer to making a meaningful impact in Yazidi’s community,” a World Vision Ireland spokesperson said.
