Our Lent campaign was helped by a very special guest to Ireland – Josiane Umumarashavu, who had appeared on the Trócaire box in 2004! Thirteen years after appearing on the Trócaire box, Josiane is a qualified accountant and works for Trócaire in her native Rwanda. She flew to Ireland – her first ever time outside of Rwanda – to say thanks to everybody who continues to support the Trócaire Lent campaign. She is photographed here with St Colmcilles student Lucia Conroy Garcia (8). (Photo: Mark Stedman)

Mrs Brown herself got in on the act in April to support the Lent campaign. Brendan O’Carroll and his team volunteered to put on a special one night only show in Dublin with all proceeds going to Trócaire. ‘An Evening with Mrs Brown’s Boys’ raised €50,000! (Photo: Mark Stedman)
