Intuity Technologies is delighted to sponsor Galway Footballer Damian Comer, who will join a host Gaelic Games stars from all corners of Ireland as they travel to Kenya as part of a week-long tour to the East African country, raising funds to plant one million trees with Self Help Africa.
Taking place in Kenya from the 19th to 27th November, the historic games are the brainchild of ‘Warriors for Humanity’ founder and former Galway dual player Alan Kerins and will feature 50 male and female Inter-County Gaelic Games players from all four codes. The aim is to highlight the impact of climate change and raise sufficient funds to plant one million trees.
Founder of ‘Warriors For Humanity’ and ‘Plant the Planet Games’, Alan Kerins said: “It is incredible to have fifty warriors for humanity signed up, each one committing to raise funds in support of what is one of the biggest challenges of our lifetime, that of climate change. This campaign, from which some of the world’s most vulnerable communities will benefit, will leave a lasting legacy in more ways than one, improving quality of living both in the present day and for future generations. This will also be the first-time inter-county players will take to the field against one another on Kenyan soil, and we are hopeful that, along with the funds raised, this significant milestone will leave a lasting and positive impression on Kenya’s communities. As it has in many countries around the world, Gaelic Games has an ability to bring communities together for a greater good and we are sure this campaign will be no different.”
Gerard Cox, CEO of Intuity Technologies said: “Intuity is delighted to support Damian Comer in raising much needed funds for what will be a fantastic event. Warriors for Humanity in Partnership with Self Help Africa is supporting the planting of trees, essential not only to combating the increasing impact of climate change but also as a way of providing sustainable income for local communities. The GAA is at the bedrock of communities across Ireland and initiatives like this highlight how important it is to provide much needed support to all communities, especially those communities that need it most across the world. Community and sustainability is at the heart of everything we do at Intuity Technologies and events like this with the support of our GAA heroes are very close to heart”.
