Fleeing war, their homes and their fathers, they have found a warm welcome in the Kerry town. On this Bank Holiday Monday, reporter Brian O’Connell tells their stories and brings to life one community response to the war in Ukraine. He hears about the logistical difficulties for a school suddenly adding 50% more students, and how children are processing and understanding geo-political events playing out thousands of miles away. Kindness in the Kingdom is a real time audio snapshot, showing how war is disrupting lives but also prompting significant humanity and togetherness.
