The World

In the beautiful countryside of south-western Ireland sheep sometimes stray. That’s where Brendan Ferris comes in. He’s a shepherd. You can usually find him at his farm, the Kells Sheep Center. It’s located on the Ring of Kerry, which is the answer, by the way, to our Geo Quiz. Ferris has won several sheep-herding competitions. Here he is with his border collie Max and a roaming flock of sheep in a distant field.

Do you support journalism that strengthens our democracy?

At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.

Every day, our nonprofit newsroom seeks to inform and empower listeners and hold the powerful accountable. Neither would be possible without the support of listeners like you. If you believe in our work, will you give today? We need your help now more than ever!
