Zest4Kidz is an Irish based charity with a huge heart. The organisation was started to let kids around the world know they are cared for and loved. They facilitate regular projects, which we regularly get involved with, helping children in three main areas, Child Soldiers in Africa, Child Prostitutes in India, Children in Prisons in Eastern Europe and the Orphanage system in Eastern Europe. We find children who have had difficult lives and aim to spend time with them to show them someone cares and that they are not alone.

We recently took part in a trip to Belarus and plan on travelling again with the team in April 2009.
