Within the space of one month in 1972, the family of young Richard Moore in Derry, Northern Ireland, would endure two family tragedies. One of them would profoundly change ten-year-old Richard’s life forever.

As Richard grew up, finished school, and entered the business world, he began to recognize the conditions that had enabled him to rebound: not only a loving family, but also a quality education and a supportive community offering him countless opportunities to grow and to succeed. In his mind’s eye, he began to see all the children across the world who were not so lucky. In his 30s, he sold his business and began the international charity Children in Crossfire to help them.

Since 1996, Moore has assisted thousands of children in Tanzania and Ethiopia, focusing his attention on early childhood education, so vital in a region where many children do not start their educational journey until age 8 or 9, having missed out during their most important developmental years.

Recognized across the world for his charity work, Moore made a friend in the Dalai Lama, who calls him “my hero.” Join us as Richard Moore tells his extraordinary story of what he has been able to see with the eyes of his heart and faith.
