Two Kerry GAA players are heading to Kenya as part of an initiative to plant a million trees.
The week-long trip will see 50 Irish GAA players partake in Plant the Planet Games, visits to Self Help Africa projects, tree planting and a reception with the Irish Ambassador to Kenya.
The two players travelling from Kerry are Rathmore’s former All-Ireland winning football captain Aisling Desmond and hurler Fionan O’Sullivan from Kenmare.
Participants are aiming to raise awareness about climate change and raise more than €350,000 in sponsorship support.
