﻿
Youth Work Ireland Midlands in partnership with young people and their communities will develop, co-ordinate and promote a comprehensive response to youth needs throughout the Midland Region, covering Counties Westmeath, Offaly & Roscommon.

Read this little metaphor: 
﻿
The Stonecutter:
There are days when I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock, perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it.  Yet at the one hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not the last blow that did it, but all that had gone before.
