Father Dougal, the dolphins, and a mission from the streets of London
Article Abstract:
The Aisling project, which brings together the Bridge Housing Association, the London Irish Centre and actor-comedian Ardal O'Hanlon, works with homeless Irish people living in London, England. O'Hanlon hosted a benefit comedy show to raise funds to take some of these people on a week-long trip to Ireland. During this trip, homeless people were able to revive some of their life skills and address their hygiene. Most of the participants were residents of Arlington House, the UK's largest hostel for homeless men.
