Father Jason Murphy from Kilmore Diocese has spent the past 20 years supporting projects in Zambia, bringing groups of young people from Cavan to work on various initiatives during summer months. In an interview, he discusses how he was initially invited to Zambia in the early 2000s by Sister Rita Deignan to help students through their Grade 11 exams, and how this led to establishing an ongoing mission program. Since 2006, he has brought multiple groups of young people to work with Sisters of Mercy on projects including building wells and clinics, particularly during the AIDS epidemic.
