Last week Zak Moradi was invited to come in to school and speak to the TY and LCA students.
Zak came to the attention of Ms Coyle through social media and his documentary called Home which is based on his book, Life begins in Leitrim. After the boys watched the documentary, Zak spoke about his life, from his birth in a refugee camp to arriving in Leitrim at the age of 10 without a word of English. Zak talked about how his love of sport helped him to learn English and to integrate into his local community. He spoke about what it was like moving to Tallaght and discovering his passion for hurling which led him to playing for Leitrim in Croke Park. In the Q & A session which followed the documentary, Zak answered questions about sport, his Kurdish identity and much more.
