Well known Mayo and Ardagh senior footballer James Carr is Uganda bound next month to help assist the charity Self Help Africa as part of the Plant the Planet Games. James will be one of fifty well known GAA stars amongst others who will embark on planting one million trees in Africa over a period of time. The tree planting will be of enormous benefit to the Ugandan population as it will provide a valuable source of food through its fruit, restores degraded land, improves soil quality, shade and shelter, and help prevent soil erosion, each leaving a lasting legacy. James has set up a go fund me page which is https://www.idonate.ie/fundraiser/jamescarr3 and all donations small and large will be greatly appreciated.
