We talk to Michael Blessing Kamwana , founder of the Wealth Transfer Token (WTT) project, about his plans. See more about it here. Business Showcase : Wealth Transfer Token (WTT) What is your Elevator Pitch? "Turning Speculation into Empowerment" Introduction: A Movement Disguised as a Token In a world where meme coins dominate headlines and speculation fuels market frenzies, Wealth Transfer Token (WTT) stands out by doing something rare: making crypto meaningful. WTT is a blockchain-powered initiative with a bold mission - to bridge the global digital divide by delivering affordable internet access, financial education, and digital learning tools to underserved children around the world. While many tokens promise moonshots, WTT promises measurable change. Here, investors don't just chase gains - they change lives. The Vision We believe in a world where your ZIP code doesn't determine your future. Right now, millions of children with raw potential live disconnected from opportunity. They lack access to the internet, basic digital skills, and the kind of mentorship that transforms lives. Yet the tools to bridge that gap already exist. How are you different? WTT is the access. We're creating a token economy where the act of buying, staking, or holding a digital asset fuels: Internet infrastructure projects Financial literacy for kids Gamified learning platforms Mentorship networks Scholarships funded by token rewards The Problem: The Global Digital Divide * Over 2.7 billion people still lack internet access. * In Sub-Saharan Africa, only 1 in 5 children has access to a connected device. * Most underfunded schools don't have Wi-Fi, let alone modern edtech. * The result? Lost potential, broken dreams, and perpetuated poverty. Why will you do well? 1. Social Impact Investing Is Exploding Impact-focused investments hit $1.2 trillion in 2023. Investors are hungry for purpose. WTT gives them an on-chain way to see their money create measurable, lasting change. 2. Meme Coin Culture Meets Meaning Retail investors have shown they'll rally around hype - imagine when that hype is backed by humanity. WTT offers all the memetic energy of SHIB or PEPE, but with a mission that builds schools instead of just buzz. 3. Decentralization for Social Good WTT introduces *"DeSocFi"* - decentralized social finance. We connect blockchain tools with grassroots change. This isn't charity - it's community-powered economic transformation. And also, # 1. Blockchain for Education We leverage blockchain to create transparent, decentralized funding models that route resources directly to communities and schools in need. # 2. Crypto with a Conscience WTT behaves like a meme coin in terms of market appeal - but its utility is deeply humanitarian. As the token grows in value, its social footprint grows with it. # 3. Real-World Deliverables * Wi-Fi-enabled learning hubs in rural schools * Child-friendly digital wallets for savings and rewards * Interactive dApps with offline functionality * On-chain governance so token holders help decide project focus areas Where are you based? The CEO and Founder is based in Tralee, County Kerry in the Republic of Ireland where he's been living for the past 11 years. The other two team members originally from Zimbabwe are based in Johannesburg, South Africa . When was the Company Launched? The Token is yet to be launched, we are still in the presale phase so that we can be able to raise funds for marketing and liquidity for the token. What are your biggest wins to date? * Token development completed and audited * Strategic partnerships forming with African ISPs, NGOs, and edtech firms * Educational dApp prototype in development * Built core team across Ireland, South Africa. * Secured advisory input from blockchain, nonprofit, and finance experts. Who Are You Trying to Attract? *Crypto Speculators* - seeking a token that might moon, but won't disappear the next day *Impact Investors* - seeking ESG exposure with on-chain trans...

Following two intense days of competition in the CanSat Ireland National Finals, a team of students from Confey Community College, Kildare, has today clinched the coveted national title. The CanSat Ireland competition is an ESERO Ireland collaboration, co-funded by the European Space Agency and Research Ireland and coordinated by MTU Blackrock Castle Observatory. The victory marks the end of a campaign that began in September 2024. All participants in this year's competition have displayed incredible technological prowess, with judges lauding the expansive expertise on display from the teams of young scientists. A CanSat is a simulation of a real satellite developed in the size and shape of a soda can. A European Space Agency initiative, the competition fosters an interest in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Maths) careers by offering students a hands-on experience of a space-themed project. The multidisciplinary nature of the project ensures students are exposed to industry standards in a broad array of potential career paths. In recent months, regional competitions have taken place across Ireland, in partnership with the Technological Universities in Dublin, Athlone, Limerick, Tralee, and Cork. Regional winners gathered in Emo Court, Portlaoise, Co. Laois, on Thursday 1st May, and launched their mini-satellites in rockets to a height of over 350 metres. On Friday 2nd May, these national finalists presented their analysis, recordings and flight patterns to the judging panel consisting of experts from a range of STEM fields. Congratulating Confey Community College, Alan Giltinan, project coordinator for CanSat Ireland said: "Confey College can't be praised enough for this achievement. Winning the National Final of the CanSat competition is no small feat. Year on year, the STEM literacy of the participating students seems to increase as rapidly as the technology they're working with. The technical competency displayed by teams all over the country continues to surpass the expectations of the judges. These students represent Ireland's STEM future, and I think it's safe to say we're in very good hands! ." The students from Confey have been invited to attend the celebratory event, 'Space Engineer for a Day', at the European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC) in The Netherlands. The students will have the opportunity to explore ESTEC facilities and laboratories, network with space experts, and present their work to a panel of experts. The CanSat competition will re-open in September 2025. Students or teachers interested in competing in the next iteration of the project are encouraged to visit the CanSat project page at esero.ie.

French-American musician and composer Zoé Basha released her debut album Gamble on April 17. Blending storytelling traditions, Appalachian mountain songs, Irish traditional music, and American blues and ragtime, the album is a woozy melange. We talk about her life journey, travelling around the US, joining the Occupy San Francisco protests, moving to Dingle, Dublin, France to learn traditional French timber framing, and back to Ireland. Throughout it all, there's music, though she did fall out of love with it for a while before Rufous Nightjar started up with Anna Mieke and Branwen Kavanagh. And now comes her debut solo album Gamble. From the press release: Zoé's debut is an intimate exploration of identity, grief, the deconstructing of societal norms, and the complexities of human connection, all delivered with a mesmerising voice that echoes the vulnerability and depth of her diverse influences. Inspired by the greats of times passed such as Billie Holiday, The Mills Brothers, Jimmie Rodgers, Joni Mitchell, Texas Gladden, Edith Piaf and The Steve Miller Band– as well as her peers in the Irish folk music scene, Zoé Basha savours the sounds of golden eras with contemporary nuance and shameless honesty.

Confidence Expressed Green Bus Has "Turned A Corner"

Confidence has been expressed that a popular bus service serving Clare's county town has "turned a corner" following a problematic period. The operator of the service known as the 'green bus' has pledged to win back the respect and trust of Ennis passengers at a meeting with Ennis's elected representatives. Due to a sharp rise in buses turning up late, at capacity or not arriving at all in recent years, it's been a widely-held belief that the green bus has gone downhill. Dublin Coach's M7 Express Service operates daily and begins at Tralee, serving Ennis and Bunratty as well as locations such as Killarney, Limerick City and Kildare Village, before terminating in Dublin City Centre. To get to the bottom of the aforementioned issues as well as complaints relating to staff behaviour and inadequate bus maintenance, a February meeting of Ennis Municipal District heard Fine Gael Councillor Mary Howard call for a briefing to be set up with Dublin Coach Representatives. At the briefing held this week with the Dublin Coach Regional General Manager, who joined the company last October, councillors heard that the service has "turned a corner" since January by expanding its fleet and hiring additional drivers. Frances Cahill says due to the recently-implemented changes, the green bus now has a "bright future". The company claims passenger numbers in Ennis have risen by 100% since the beginning of the year, while service delivery has increased by 96%. At the briefing, Frances Cahill apologised to the people of Ennis on behalf of the provider for issues she said were "unacceptable", and promised not to let passengers down going forward. Councillor Mary Howard is confident the green bus is on its way to returning to being the "great service" it once was.

NTA And Transport Minister Urged To Intervene Amid Complaints Over Ennis Green Bus Service

The National Transport Authority and the Minister for Transport are being urged to intervene, amid complaints over an Ennis bus service said to be in decline. Representatives from Dublin Coach are to be invited to attend a meeting of the county town's elected councillors amid reports of a "growing number of issues" with its Green Bus service from Ennis to Dublin. Starting in Tralee and terminating at Bachelor's Quay in Dublin, Dublin Coach's M7 Express Service operates daily, serving Ennis and Bunratty as well as the likes of Killarney, Adare, Annacotty and Kildare Village. Although it was hailed for its efficiency and value for money when first launched in 2013, there has been a rising number of complaints in recent years relating to punctuality and capacity, as well as alleged "no-show" buses. On foot of these reports, Fine Gael Councillor Mary Howard has tabled a motion at this week's Ennis Muncipal District meeting requesting that Dublin Coach representatives are invited to the next meeting to explain the reasons for these issues and outline how they'll be addressed. Councillor Howard says while a shortage of drivers appears to be a problem, solutions must be sought as the service is currently failing those in need of it. The motion received unanimous support in the chamber with Councillor Tom O'Callaghan saying it was a "fantastic service when it started" but has since disimproved and Councillor Paul Murphy claiming people are being "left at the side of the road" on a regular basis. Councilor Tommy Guilfoyle criticised the ownership model of Dublin Coach, which is one of the largest privately-owned public transport companies in Ireland, saying the issues discussed are an inevitable consequence of the "privatisation of public services". As a result of the motion, Dublin Coach will now be contacted with a view to a briefing being set up between them and the Ennis MD councillors. Although a private entity, the company is licensed by the National Transport Authority which operates under the aegis of the Department of Transport. Longtime public transport advocate and Ennis Green Party representative Brigid Ginnity says given this fact, remedying the issues raised is the Government's responsibility.
