The ‘Magnificent 17‘ are riding back into Dublin Town on Monday 5 June 2017 to promote the 17 Global Goals for better future for people and the planet:
-
-
They will raise awareness of the important 17 Global Sustainable Development Goals,
-
They will also raise money for anti-poverty grass-roots initiatives in Manila and Dublin. More here!
-
The “Magnificent 17” will gather at the entrance of St. Stephen’s Green at 1 pm on Monday 5 June on ‘horse back’ before they dismount and set off come hail, rain or shine on the Vhi’s Dublin Women’s Mini-Marathon.
The ‘Magnificent 17‘ are friends and volunteers of All Together in Dignity.
There will be 17 horses, each emblazoned with one of the 17 goals. The 17 Cowgirls will have buckets on the day to raise money for ATD. The money collected will be used in 2 ways:
– 70% will be sent to Manila to support ATD’s Street Libraries in the Philippines. The street libraries are a simple way to allow children living in a country marked by a lot of violence with a place to gather and learn. For the facilitators it’s about ‘sharing our knowledge with them’
– 30% will be used by ATD Ireland to further promote the Global Goals among young adults at the European Youth Meeting in August 2017.
