Celebs line up for World Vision campaign

Actor and author Pauline McLynn and radio presenter Tom Dunne are fronting a World Vision campaign to recruit 200 child sponsors in Cork.

The campaign calls on individuals to become child sponsors to fund long term programmes in communities in east and west Africa.

"We are asking people to recognise that not all sponsorship is about football teams, concerts or celebrity weddings," said Helen Keogh, chief executive, World Vision Ireland.

The ask will be ‚€25 per month.
