from Vatican Radio:
Vatican Radio’s English section is proud to introduce our newest intern, Michael Gannon. The Director of Vatican Radio’s English Section, Sean-Patrick Lovett, first met Michael at the “Think Different, Think Europe” event hosted by Vatican Radio last May. It is a project associated with the Europe for Citizenship programme for the EU, and brought together citizens from different EU countries who have Down Syndrome. It was there that Michael suggested an internship at the Radio. Michael is the first person with Down Syndrome to do an internship at any Vatican office.
We have asked him to tell us more about himself. Listen:
My aims for this week
Hey folks this is Michael Gannon here. Just to introduce myself to one and all: I am from Ireland, I have lived in Kildare all my life. I have one brother and one sister and myself and my parents. We are out-going, we do different things together like celebrating Christmas, New Year, we support Kilkenny in the hurling and follow Kildare in the football and I support Manchester United
The one thing that you need to know is that I am a very hard worker myself. And keep very busy in what I do.
