Sponsors The Ireland Initiative is possible because of the generosity of numerous individual donors to the Mastery Foundation.

Human beings suffer, They torture one another, They get hurt and get hard.
No poem or play or song Can fully right a wrong Inflicted and endured. The innocent in goals Beat on their bars together. A hunger-striker's father Stands in the graveyard dumb. The police widow in veils Faints at the funeral home. History says, Don't hope On this side of the grave.
