The blind leading the sighted

An amazing story of triumph and forgiveness over adversity.
Richard Moore was 10 years old when he was blinded by a British soldier during the troubles in Derry. Refusing to become bitter he harnessed the experience to set up Children in Crossfire a developmental charity working to improve the lives of children in poverty worldwide.

I have some anger issues being involved with social services. This man is an inspiration to me. I try and offer forgiveness to the social services for taking away my liberty.

I went to st annes ps in rosemount near creggan and my class did a sponsered walk and a cake and bun sale and altogether we raised £700 for children in crossfire

Does it take someone having to be blind to help the world

[@Stratman389]

I think the issue is not his disability but rather his ability to overcome it.

I met this man and the soldier who shot him a few months ago, it is really interesting of how they have become good friends ever since they first met.
