Please join us for a remarkable story of compassion and forgiveness. As a child, Richard Moore was blinded during the Troubles in Northern Ireland, then welcomed and embraced in Worcester as he sought physical healing. As an adult his transformative work in Africa through Children in Crossfire and his efforts to promote peace and reconciliation in his homeland have been so consequential that the Dalai Lama described Richard as "my hero, and a wonderful son of humanity."
