The Secret Millionaire ft. Foróige Youth Project

and Oconee is an entrepreneur who has built up a multi-million euro business portfolio in Eastern Europe but a tendon is about to leave all that behind he will return to his native goal way under the pretense of presenting a television programme called life in the West can we come in Dudley but he will be secretly searching for people that he thinks he might be able to help by the end of this day ender will give away tens of thousands of euro of his own money and then reveal himself as the secret millionaire who can't be buried with your assets our resources will be judged by what we put back in endow Canaan is an entrepreneur based in the Czech Republic his company kilcullen capital is a hugely successful investment management firm but the business grew from modest beginnings I started my own business in the 80s and it was tough you know it was pretty depressed Ireland we had one stage nineteen percent unemployment you were considered very successful if you paid your bills and at that time the whole of Eastern Europe was opening up the Communists had just left the wall had come down their check and Paul and they were buzzing at the time so I just got on a plane and came out I'd come out on a Monday and rented an office and I actually would sleep in the office so when they left in the evening I was there and they came in in the morning I was there that business had to work because at that stage I had a young family and was living on the edge it was a massive adventure this thirst for adventure and a stubborn independent streak spurred in the arm I've always been a self-starter always being unemployed but I should never give myself a job so you know coming from the rest of Ireland I was very independent minded if somebody said to me black was hurt I'd set out to prove that right was really black in the early years Enda and his small team established many businesses in different sectors including publishing and insurance but the turning point came when he decided to invest in telecommunications in Eastern Europe just before deregulation 1996-97 we started a small telephone company very modest investment was $250,000 and four years later we sold at a valuation of 35 million dollars up to then you were sort of a what they would say go away a chancellor and then when you made a few Bob you became an entrepreneur but of course you make a bit of money you become I used to think it was stamp collecting you become a flunky working on a voluntary basis for five years Enda helps bring the Volvo Ocean Race to Galway which was a huge boost to the country it also ties him to his other great passion the sea when I was 21 going on 22 I left from Boston to Ferrara and in a 15 and a half foot inflatable dinghy there's an extraordinary adventure single-handed going across the Atlantic I actually learned a lot from that the biggest thing was not smarter to fly Enda is involved with the charity called the pride of Ireland trust whose aim is to give young people of all backgrounds the chance to discover their true potential through the experience of sail training I'm passionate about the ocean I'm passionate about the reserve of the ocean only two percent of the wealth of the ocean is used if I can achieve anything by this program it's to connect young people with the ocean and with adventure I do hate that millionaire tag you know because I think if you have resource it should be discreet I don't like flaunting like I don't spend much of myself so I am a bit worried about that I'm a bit worried about that tag but I think the risk is is worth taking in terms of what we might achieve by focusing on some real issues it should be an adventure and hopefully we might achieve something worthwhile in the process and you just have to give it a lash and go first end is about to embark on a life-changing challenge traveling around go away under the pretense of presenting a documentary called life in the West he will search for people who might need help it's lovely to come back if you grow up in a place I mean your childhood memories are the ones to to treasure cast back memories here when I was a child when I was expelled from school he used to hang out here so he bizarre to come back in the way that have arrived back today and Enda is not the first of the rabbit family to return to this city with his fortune made my great-great-grandfather emigrated left east go away and ended up in California and the Gold Rush and he found gold he came back from the states and set up the pub here I saw the original deeds of the property my great-great grandfather he couldn't read nor write so it was a big X it's quite a moment because roots are deep and of course everything is long we've gone now Enda wants to know what support systems are in place for the youth of Galway he's heard of firaga one of the largest youth development organizations in ireland so he heads to their local drop-in centre the youth cafe to find out more I was awake awake most of the day the rest of the simple ways from sounds of nyan think about life what I mean before I die and my baby giveaway come up hello are you working here I do yeah hello sir - Jen is my name is epic Jen I'd be interested to learn a bit about youth services in go away I'm particularly interested in youth activities that involve getting young people involved in sport physical alright yeah we've got a great Center at Bally bang Andy and Martin would mainly work out there yeah and Freud staff memories but we also brilliant volunteers out there as well happen out there was a rough area town wasn't it it was yeah a lot of good community work being done out there and a real it's got a city yeah and you'd be surprised like there could be a feud one day and the next day you've gone out kayaking with my next-door neighbor and race Dominion and my dandy I'll give you a run for your money yeah yeah brilliant go out biking for the day really yeah Balaban on the east side of Galway City was once home to settlements of travelers spread across large halting sites it had a tough reputation today Bally ban looks vastly different it is much improved but it's still one of the most disadvantaged areas of the city and suffers from large-scale unemployment and a reputation for anti-social behavior Enda has arranged to meet Martin McDonagh a part-time youth worker and member of the travelling community who has lived here all his life when you were growing up you know what Socialists did you encounter drink would have been a big issue in in our community and the Travon community - compared to now the so much drugs involved which I keep kids away from and guide them away from that gone down that path cost and unfortunately this area is there's a big drug problem i'muh kids at 13 and 14 and their high and II burn ones the Eastside Youth Project largely based in the local community Hall in Bali ban in the last three years and these funding has been cut by 40% providing activities for over 150 children from the area has become even harder on his reduced budget this is our main hope of activity where we do kind of crafts and sports areas and then the kids come up with ideas that they want to do so there's difficulties such as bike projects and gardening projects okay we've done workshops in on anti bullying and racism stuff ago so you kind of through the schools reach out is that correct to the kids that may be about to go off named school or how does it work young people are at risk of falling over school a lot of absenteeism or it's causing difficulties or cause issues there you know the kids I need to be engaged with them see my train encourage into continued or education and work with the school in that in that regard true reward system that if they engage all week long that they get out on an activity at the weekend money-wise it's it's tight it's tight and our budgets being cut a lot and the demand for our services is bigger yeah but we're getting smaller budgets and we do the best we can with what we have but you're never gonna get all the kids you know you're never gonna help everyone it's not possible but you do the best with what you you can if you can send some young people in the right direction that have been gone in the wrong direction you're changing people's lives and that's a very high calling and I was really really impressed by the work to do died like to learn a little bit more the next day Enda travels to Ravi and connemara to catch the morning ferry to the Aran Islands the largest of the Iron Islands inishmore is home to over 800 people like any other isolated rural community it faces its own challenges you go out to a place like Arn it's like a distilled microcosm of the entire island of Ireland it has all of those magic components that go into making up what we call society I also think in the islands there's a deep sense of community and looking out for each other I think if we can do that as a community in a bigger sense we can learn from that on his arrival to an ish more and the spots a poster advertising a fundraiser for a local charity called smiles for shauna the charity was set up by Anne Fitzpatrick and her husband perhaps after their 16 year-old daughter Shana died of cancer two years ago the money the charity raises is going towards helping teenagers living with cancer Shana sadly passed away the 19th of November 2011 from malignant melanoma skin cancer and she was diagnosed when she was 13 she woke one morning with a lump in her and in her neck and initially they told me it was no harm and and after number months it was started to paint her and when we went to and had to test it it was a melanoma is only 14 she was 13 yeah and then after a year and a half of treatment and thank God she got the all-clear that there was nothing and then August weekend she said she'd not a cramp in her leg and that kind of passed and then she called me about ten days later and she said mom I have an awful pain in my groin and it's very sore it was literally every everywhere in her even in the brain even when she was told she had that the cancer was back in there was all over us you know she just Leviton said one she just started laughing peckish kind of upset and what and he said do you not hear what he said you and she said yeah Bush what can I do about it yeah you know that was that's how that's how she dealt with this like you know what can I do about it you can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday you can remember her and only that she is gone you can cherish shonas memory and let it live on you can cry and close your mind the empty and turn your back or you can do it shorter would want smile open your eyes low and go on that's lovely that's really nice three lovely daughters they're fantastic and perish the thought of anything happening to them you know we all cope in our own different ways I've had a lot of adversity thrown at me and I've survived that but a situation like that I just don't know it I'd never really want to encounter it perhaps you could tell me a little bit about other zone smiles for Shauna Kim about Shana loved Smiley's there were her favorite things and she was a smiler she was you know she always had a smile on her face you know through everything and we decided why don't we make a charity in her name because she had such an influence on so many people exactly as she left it is it yet exactly well let's make you very sad though to come in here I get very angry at times why you know shoe she had so much to give why was she taking so early you know every night both my second passion and come in and sit in the room for a while before we go to bed to still say goodnight to her well yeah kind of the routine is kind of we give this picture a kiss and then you know we know then that this picture that she's kind of saying well what he yes you know there's that I like you know we feel she's here when we're here even the trauma of losing Shawna like for her friends has just been traumatic traumatic yeah but they're helping us and we hopefully we're helping them yeah yeah yeah yeah it touched a nerve has touched her owner of there and he's with her I was very very sad and very very moving but you know a teenager shouldn't die you know it's all people who die I'm very moved by that and I'd really like to learn more about what's happening so I think we will stay close to this one you you businessman enduro kaneen has returned to his native go away in order to search for people whom he might be able to help after spending a night on any shmore undergoes for an early morning stroll and comes across a group of young Islanders were preparing their boats to go sailing it's a great thing that really cuz clubs like this they're just starting off you don't have a lot of money they don't have the whole boat so they heard these boats out from the IAC so they're topaz sailor you see what it's like see the interest and uh kind of get it off it's reaching off yeah as a result of the decline of the fishing industry a dependence on tourism and high levels of immigration traditional maritime skills are being lost in an effort to reconnect the next generation of young Islanders with the sea a sail training initiative has been established on Inishmore school principal Mahalo coil heads a committee responsible for this new enterprise sailing had died out here I suppose generation ago at least my grandfather's people were sailing boats or fishing and sailing boats so tell dinos I suppose it's to get them away from the play stations to get the most experience in the environment and the elements so it it's much deeper than just a clubber sailing it's really about getting into the environment getting them out there and that's really what I admire about what you're doing here we 26 interested this year and I think we could double that easily really our next course here there's such an interest we can't in building on it and hopefully they'll be running a summer course here for tourists and hopefully it will become a job summer jobs for them for me it's quite a motive because I was troubled too as a kid and I went away on both centers opened up the world hopefully no from this group will be getting postcards from African about ten years Tanith had they dropped off on their way on the other side that's it work you do right two thirds of the world is covered by ocean there we have 3000 miles of coastline it really opens up a window of the world and particularly if you live on an island and you know here we're on an island off an island and it's even even more real and more important if you give him a taste of sailing but more than that it would show them what's out there in terms of harvesting the wealth yeah I'm the ocean here and this is another way to do it it is yeah so what do you think mark take this yeah it's a nice sensation isn't it that the natural sound of the water and harnessing the wind which is free I really like an admirer what's been done and it's not just the leisure component it's interpersonal skills its environment its jobs its employment its enterprise its travel it's all of those marvelous things and and this this hopefully could be the start of something really interesting on the island having heard about the smiles for shauna charity Enda has arranged to meet Shauna's former teacher morof Reed at the islands secondary school to find out more about her her death affected her classmates and friends when jean-louis was diagnosed it was something that that hit all the students and the teachers in the school and a small school like this with a small population I suppose we kind of have a different relationship maybe kind of with our students Souls kind of like a family so it was difficult I think there was a lot of anger and a lot of disbelief and and the students again and that the teachers who couldn't kind of really I suppose get our heads around that this is actually happening but this was happening to one of our own simply a magic around this girl she was she was unique I mean she was just a character and she was just one of these kids she was just so cool and easy breezy and she was just friends with everybody four of Shauna's school friends have been integral to the charity and keeping her spirit alive all the petition things are second eye results pressure to clean champagne Shauna loved any champagne chatty with an and she had said her clothes he wore were so thought it would be nice to come and Misha find a little bit more do not find it sad coming here no no no I've always found it just I mean it's somewhere we can go and no one's gonna disturb us and say you're faster than so yeah hmm what sort of things do you talk about when you're your visitor I really yes the smiles smart where does that come from and the butterflies and champagne associate Lawson's of her personality as foresight champagne is probably so and she was very bubbly no yeah the smiley faces is just kind of epitomizes her and her optimism and everything like that and and it just became a big thing right now when she passed away and everyone paid to their new like-minded faces your name there's yeah I mean everyone from the men to the women to the brothers and the sisters and the dads and everyone had little Duffy's our own brands yeah and they have the smiley face girl and the connection with an her family is that grown deeper November so yeah it's been like amazing to have them helped a lot for all of us definitely um yeah the Sun is out at least look over there look at the nice side of it but it'll be just a quick shower hopefully help us out I never expected to be you know talking with teenagers like that it's extraordinary intimacy you know to hear them chatting and talking as if she were in the room I think that's extraordinary so it actually shows that some greater power there above and beyond us as as mere mortals it captures the embodiment of the spirit of this girl positive disposition and the way it's identified this this gap in the need for care and an understanding for teenagers with cancer so that really is is worth supporting and it is really fires certainly far as my imagination Enda is heading back to the mainland moved by the resilience of the young people that he's met he now turns his attention to the elderly rural go away is home to almost 70 percent of the county's elderly population and isolation and access to services is an ongoing problem to learn more about how the community is responding to these problems and the visits termen in a day center which provides a wide range of services for the elderly here and in the community Enda has arranged to meet the center's manager eggie Haiti to find out more about what they do hey hey hello in the kettle killer - thanks for having me let's start the bathroom guitar Molina yeah I've heard a lot about I just come in i was out in english-born over here just intact on the tee first of all p.m. if I have a cup of tea Johnny cable to Johnny a nap chica just not be attending and Jokinen Catherine Suh Terminator was founded in the early 90s first of all to address a house he need for older people and also to promote independent living for all the paper them in the culinary region yeah it didn't exist at that point no not at that time and you have to think at the time people were returning home from England and places that they want to maybe in the 40s 50s and 60s you know they didn't have a home to go to maybe and at the time the county council wouldn't build in less he had your own site and most of these people didn't have their own sites you come in here every day or and when three days three days a week yeah and where are you actually living and on your own turn around you might live in person how are you 696 Canadian range the second of me so I'm going on to my 97 oh geez yeah I say well you got the honey welcome you son party at the ministry provides let's say activities like meditation yeah and the arts and perhaps we have at the gym three three days a week and again we cater for people from the ages of 50 years yes see actually over 50 to go to the gym yes yes you do over face chairman Anna's latest project is the development of a community garden it is being built out of their own resources to provide an outdoor activity for the elderly and act as a meeting place for young and old we're going to have raised beds so that the tenants here will be able to use them okay yeah I'll come to it and also this is going to be a project actually that's open to to the primary skills most of the schools yes indeed how's that work well we're gonna hopefully now that we're hoping that they don't get integration they are between the kids so you have there and kids from the school yes and go in here with was the older people yeah I mean concept it is actually now we're quite we're looking forward to actually now once it's up and running like it also takes time what really touched me was the her new idea for the for the garden I think I didn't expect this because it's thinking outside of the box we get compartmentalize term antennas focuses to look after older people and youth groups are to look out for youth groups but the fact of interacting them together and I I think when when younger people are working alongside older people you'll build a natural respect and there'll be a knowledge there that'll in part be the conversation the trash that connectivity and it's actually by doing not theoretical this is real this is doing this is really living and it's the essence of life itself Balaban youth workers Martin and Andy started a bike workshop in 2012 as a way of curbing bike crime today Enda has been invited along to meet some of the local kids who are learning about bike maintenance and repair Andy nice to see you again I know I have seen you l could see ya I didn't realize to be such a gang here it's brilliant I do a lot of them ever they put their bikes under a lot of pressure so yeah this your know he's what's your name my name is Gabriel Gabriel how you doing nice to see what do you do there I'm just a fitting breath my wheel girls repairing machine is that that's your bike is it that's his own boy yeah how did you get involved here I like what I do I do like stunts on one side okay Dirt Jump I mean so we see you doing some jumping later well yeah over

yeah finger thing nothing like you yeah sure your summer holidays what else special video Lexi making money yeah I was really impressed by Alex Gabriel of the girls they show a lot of potential and who knows given the right opportunity what they might achieve it takes your part first country after the morning spent fixing and amending the kids from the workshop get the chance to put their rights to the test in more color half an hour northwest of felicity well guys this is brilliant they engage with it fantastically get out into the country you're just talking in the city there starts a whole new environment zoom in to make new friends they're getting to learn new skills very increasing the fitness level not just getting their title endure learning about the bikes about technical aspects of bikes so it could lead to careers and jobs further down the line the more you challenge young people the more you push them out there the more of a chance they won't get into drugs so they won't get into trouble if you like so it's kicked a lot of ideas in my own mind and I'm and sort of churning that overs I would really like to do something for this group that can be hopefully a meaningful contribution right now if this wasn't here I don't know what else I'll be probably a peon home playing video games or something exam I I think this club is got me more into the bikes than I already was yeah what I'm doing this I'm happy yeah half of all over 65 year olds live in rural areas in Ireland with one in five elderly men living on their own cutbacks in rural services have made it increasingly difficult for older people to connect with friends and neighbors contributing to a growing sense of rural isolation today Enda has joined Kathleen on her Meals on Wheels run a new service started by Terman Anna that reaches out to those living in the wider community are there a lot of old people living on their own around here yeah there's way too many yeah really fun to be honest with you you know yeah there's a lot a lot of people wouldn't have got married yeah you know and as well or some of them their husband has died or their wives who died and they're left in all their own and their own then like so I might be the only person maybe the postman you know yeah the only person they see that day you know again if they watch the TV they'll see all this stuff on us and then they

Enosh well this lon come out of it I'd be winking happy weekend either happy weekend Nagisa one solution to living alone is supported accommodation tarah banana provides a safe home to over 30 people many of whom are returned immigrants Enda is visiting John McIntyre who came back from England to look after his father you're from little originally I am from London I would say speaking eligible shim half mile in the Garber say this little village I was born in the early fifties and like every other young person around here when I left school I had to head for the white Borgias that called it a bad bone in the early 60s I was working in the Midlands forests and the sugar beaches it was every young fellows dream to grow and to be because the money was good yeah but then too has been foolish of course how did you spend it uh-huh every way in any way you can tell me about me where the water is under drain chin here I had it often when that was finished on to London and they worked in the building site yeah you never got married Rancic Arthur no no one did have me sir yeah but you really came back to look out here Alan I thought I did I came back to look after wife ever yeah tell me about how you came to be here then you applied and I played and I was informed that there was a vacancy here yeah you're talking independent I am totally independent hi my little friend here yeah what's that huh that's that's it's an emergency emergency where I doesn't work there's a little box they on the wall and he'll speak to me to see her name in seven for everyone they can start straightaway you know I know there's a people out there a lot for software are you yeah I live in an isolated area so yeah you know and they'd probably all the heavy stuff on the wall does it drop around there if we're to refocus society and invest in young people one of the things we need to invest is this concept of respect for older people and I never really thought about it in that way before and talking with John so we've really brought that home to me you businessman endo Killeen has been back in his native Galway for over a week in a few days you will have to decide whom he is going to help by donating tens of thousands of Euro of his own money this morning Enda has arranged for four members of the Balaban youth group and their youth leader Martin to meet him at the local airport for a surprise trip there just underway it's a total surprise they've no idea where they're going and they've been guessing they've been chatting they'd be talking about it first step in the surprises they're arriving at an aeroplane and they have no idea what they were to do when they get off the airplane hey guys hi yeah hey Braden give any idea where you're going we have a very interesting day lined up the whole idea is that you'll you'll see something you may not have experienced where we going for I can't tell you it's ten top secret this is your first time on a thing what you expect to see the expression on their faces three of the four had never flown before certainly delving back to my own childhood and if I was exposed to something different particularly when I travelled it really opened up new horizons and if this to achieve something it's the feeling of actually doing which is totally different to what you're ever going to get online now we've landed on Inishmore we're now to go to the next stage of the master plan we're going on now down to a rib which is a parable and we're going to go on the powerboat to go someplace else we want to go back to for God the boss anymore no he's a nice boy is that good enough yeah get on the plane just put it on over there so I have a pretty tight outdoor pursuits sports activities such as we're doing today are much much bigger than just the recreational component if we take young people out on the ocean it would give them a taste of adventure it's that whole broader experience sandwich develops a skill set that can set them up for life that's the American more she's a very famous Galway hooker the Galway hookers are the traditional sailing craft of the West of Ireland for me it's a big thrill and I hope I can share that with you to actually go sailing on the American war but you're not just going on the boat I'm going to give you some instructions as to how to sail it passes that's it keep pulling from a young age I went away on boats to sea and I'm pretty sure that shaped my life is opened up new horizons and new perspectives and now it's very nice to be able to put something back in at the other end wind is coming from up there okay so we cannot sail straight up there so what we're going to do is we're going to tack up zigzag up okay okay tacking watch your heads now sailors catching the wind and it's like the shape of an aeroplane wing see the shape for sale yeah you get an aerodynamic lift so you get the slot between the two sails you see that yeah you know there's a lot more to it than meets the eye yeah they're cool kids like to pick up things really quickly wants to chew on what to do especially Alex dear Alex's hands on Alex in Boulder and our bikes mean shed his brain is thinking all the time it's just a push that little bit further and give them a big eruptions but if you pick a spot and head for there and make your life a lot easier it just you have your pity spot no you have I think yeah okay you just hit for that Oh get this appraised elated they don't something that they've never done before God on the big screen both have done the plane now they're on this board it's important that they in a sense behave but we'd have a lot of issues in Balaban behavior at that time where we're getting kids in that's expose us were already and straight wise and it's like anything in life I didn't win a bit of respect goes a long way and these kids has respect which you might stand stand rather than sit at that yeah yes oh you like a man children get caught between a rock and a hard place in it and sometimes that vulnerable period and that's why the work of Martin and Andy who we've met that's where that creates a very very valuable contribution he says pedal in there today was great I didn't think he was gonna be moving at all goes in has just the wind and there's no instant them all but it's actually fun remember all these hands upon your move are away again I'm fourteen years I I joined it because I loved doing it because I love being around kids and seeing kids achieving something it's not like work it's not like coming to work I did remember this and probably did we asked me do this next year but a small budget while Martin and the others from Bali ban fly back to the mainland Enda has joined members of the island community to help the Fitzpatrick family prepare for their fundraising charity event all the money raised will go to the new teenage recreation room at Kremlin Children's Hospital colony royal is the director of smiles for Shauna what do you expect you will achieve well I think it's already achieved so much it's galvanized the community and it's given everybody was grieving for Shauna its family in particular focus focus yeah and something to do to do for Shauna to keep her memory going the putter you just live across the road your children presumably we're close in age oh absolutely yeah how there is zero to the nerve of them they were good times pattern is pattern a musician yeah he is yeah was there some song or something yes he's written beautiful tribute song to her my dear uncle my hair oh yeah it's use for the tops of the dishes hard work festive I get down to business here what do you think is the difference between the community here and in the community in the mainland it affects everybody here yeah when it when a tragedy like that happens yeah like he can feel it like yeah I wrote the song first above maybe three or four months before Shauna's passing is just kind of a away from me to vent to join you know to figure out what what's going on in my own head kind of thing so just you know through that whatever in paper and then sadly when Sean the past I changed the words around okay had she heard the song she hadn't known it before she died no she happened and she probably would have slept before then she was she wasn't until like Anna sentimental stuff hey juster crew star hold I'm not gonna Knight still loads you convert sucks to pajamas somebody must be very happy with the evening it's bittersweet because Shawna would have loved this you know if she was here she'd just be the middle of ism's enjoying I suppose perhaps you could give me a flavor of her you to the charge my friend here Kremlin Children's Hospital are building a new unit when Shawna was sick there was nowhere for teenagers you know you're in with babies and then of course you can she wasn't in adults so there was nowhere for teenagers to hang out and be relaxed and be comfortable so the primary aim is to support this beautiful recreation room where they can be comfortably relaxed during her illness Shawna attended canteen an organization that specifically hopes teenagers with cancer there she formed a special bond with the other teens some of whom have maintained strong links with the Fitzpatrick family like when you're sick your friends at home yeah already understand like they try to like they don't really understand where is in canteen everyone knows what it's like to lose her hair everyone knows what it's like to be general sea lice they understand it like so it means a lot like when you meet friends my keys and I get a lot of friends best friends it's been a magic evening and treating a really great teacher took the trouble to come yeah community here is amazing for like that's have you signed up to the armbands no I miss you from the tags on your shoes yeah pretty hairline no here they're looking down I'm signing solitaire this evening so gentle and so he picks up every part of her yeah and the friendship they had yeah I had an amazing friendship I've just been blown away by the amount of people that turned up and the support and the way the day turned out and the atmosphere justice electric readings and just how you know and I hope you I'm why you are and has reached the end of his journey later today he'll be revealing his true purpose but first he must decide who to help and how best to do so well I've thrown myself into this unknown world twice I had decided not to do it I found in the end that the idea of doing some good and focusing on people who are doing good things and particularly some of the things I'm interested in was really worthwhile I've actually been privileged to meet a lot of extraordinary people and there's a common denominator that runs through it all and that's entrepreneurship entrepreneurship isn't necessarily about making money it's about creating change helping people making a meaningful contribution to life so I've related to that in a very strong way Enders first call is to see an and Pat Fitzpatrick two people whose bravery has had a profound effect on him you've invited us into your lives in a sense and you know going to the bedroom there and then meeting everybody and seeing her smiles all over the house but I've sold me to say to you we're not making a film about looking into the West I've been looking around the country for things worthwhile to support we hit upon it's not so much that the tragedy of Shonna which is also it's more what you're doing in the way the community came behind it so I have something to give to the charity which I know you'd put to very good use are you for you oh dear God in heaven oh I don't know what they can do sorry so well whatever god somebody will benefit family I never thought it'd be one of these feet the better get caught with something like this cheetahs villa near food so help so many teenagers so many teenagers a lot of them it's the recognition the recognition for her daughter what she meant and it's the recognition for the work that the funds will do in filling this gap I kind of loved it because it's more than just a very worthy cause it's the city embodiment of his first and a personality it's the spirit of someone that will live on as a result and that's why I was taken by action be forever young yeah it means a lot to me personally and I'm delighted and honored to be in your home under such a shared that experience she has brought all this to us like you know in illness in a strange way she has you know and we find doing this work has helped us and it is keeping us driven every day you know so this is this is absolutely amazing and made amazing before end Alize the island he's decided to make an unplanned visit to me Oh Logan founding member of the newly formed Aaron sailing club in a sense I chanced upon what you're doing here sailing club just happy to be here this week and I really admire in terms of getting the club going perhaps something to say to you I came to the island I wanted to support a charity something really something really worthwhile right so I had a budget and I wanted to make a significant donation the bad news is you're getting no for that budget it wasn't part of my plan you know I'd planned to support one worthwhile project in the island but the more I think about it the more I think by supporting this new sailing club butts to get the young people of the island engaged in the sport and there's strong commercial potential for that so I've dug down a bit deeper my pockets I'd be delighted and honored if he was accepted check I've seen this television I'm gonna marry me no sir L am I supposed to become an artisan instantly in America's thank you thank you very very rising funds at the moment isn't easy and it's s that's a wonderful start for us yeah I know you'll make it work I know your political just so revealing Eleazar telemeter larga Therese Therese back in Connemara undergoes two Me's Peggy from the chairman in a center whose work with the elderly has made a big impression I haven't really been making the program we said we're making it all sorry wait

towards developing helping you developing a professional fundraising function and I have a lot of ideas I could discuss with you on that it's like it was more than money she really appreciated the fact that we took the trouble to find out what they really do and to recognize and respect it can I give up Oh oh my oh you're an angel for us to be thought of in this manner it's absolutely fantastic fantastic when Enda began this journey his heart was set on finding projects that were striving to unlock the potential of young people and Martin and Andy's work in Balaban has inspired him I really admire what you're doing I mean it's extraordinary you know particularly you know the cutback in resources and everything I haven't really been entirely truthful what we're doing we're not really making a program into the West I've been going around looking to find projects that I can support as something I'd like to give to you Wow that's brilliant excellent thank you very much something else I'd like to do as well all right yeah give you a look at this hmm this worked you know quite a lot of money it's really it's really a trip of a lifetime basically you guys rush with a few selected trainees from the center we'll go to New Zealand and you spend two weeks you'll go on the spirit of New Zealand she's a 45 meter youth training vessel but also you'll spend some time in New Zealand looking at how they run their youth programs you can go away bring back the ideas and they can learn from you as well so it'll be an exchange if you like so I'm kind of quite excited by that it's a bit unusual I'm a bit lost for words to be honest damn I didn't expect it it's going to be amazing for our kids definitely they won't get this opportunity again this is more than money it's the smarts it's the intellectual software and that's what you guys have well and that's what I found and you've really taken me into your lives of what you're doing and I I really appreciate that thank you very much thank you immediately they were thinking about the young people the 16 17 year olds they're going to take on the trip but I kept coming back it was for them it was thank you for them it was a reward for them but also an incentive and I think that they get that where they can learn with a whole exposure there you see them saying and and and if you change one life as a result of that it's this money very well spent they're good people that come back with ideas and it's those ideas we want to harvest and bring them back to make our little island in the North Atlantic prosper see you then good luck Frank see you then okay I'm really appreciative of the people I've met this week I'm really fired up by what can be done it's a drop in the ocean compared you the issues but I hope that that drop in the ocean will cause a ripple and that ripple roll out into a wave for each of the people involved but I can't do that I can only help it alone this will never leave me it's been quite an emotional roller coaster I'm no me not that emotion I'll treasure this forever well there were bells and whistles to say the least as Artie's big music train began its journey this morning with great
