Richard tells us:
✓ How His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet said to Richard that he is his hero, and that he is a wonderful son of humanity.
✓ How he lost his sight when he was 10 years old because of a rubber bullet which was shot at him.
✓ What his experience was like growing up with no sight in Derry and how he learned to accept his blindness and turn it around to a positive experience.
✓ How he learned two things about forgiveness when he finally met the soldier who shot him.
✓ What is the purpose of forgiveness.
✓ And how sometimes people get justice but they are no happier at the end of it.
You’re my hero”, His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet told Richard Moore, founder and Director of Children in Crossfire when they met on 17th July 2007 to celebrate the tenth anniversary of Children in Crossfire. Gripping Richards hand the spiritual leader of the Tibetan Buddhists said” Whether you believe it or not, you are my hero, and a wonderful son of humanity.
In 1972, aged 10 whilst on his way home from school, Richard Moore, the founder of Children in Crossfire, was blinded by a rubber bullet fired at point blank range into his face in Derry, Northern Ireland. Amazingly, from childhood to the present day, he has never allowed bitterness to stunt his development. “I have learned to see life in a different way”, is how he describes his remarkable acceptance of what, for most, would be a debilitating trauma.
In 1996 he felt the need to harness all that he had learned and put it at the service of humanity, particularly children around the world who have been caught in the crossfire of poverty.
The story of Children in Crossfire has its roots in what began as a tragedy and ended as a triumph of the human spirit to overcome adversity. Since 1996 Children in Crossfire has supported projects in Africa, Asia and South America. Today Children in Crossfire work in Tanzania and Ethiopia and its main aim is to enhance the dignity and improve the lives of children suffering from the injustice of poverty.
Throughout his life Richard had a keen interest in broadcasting and is a qualified amateur radio operator. In 2009 he turned this passion into a reality and set up a community radio station called Drive 105 based in Derry/Londonderry. Drive 105 has gained the support of the entire community and is going from strength to strength, broadcasting 24 hours per day, 7 days a week.
