Inscription at the front: “To commemorate the hungry poor who walked here in 1849 and walk the third world today. Freedom for South Africa 1994. How can men feel themselves honoured by the humiliation of their fellow beings. Mahatma Gandhi in South Africa.” Inscriptions at the side panels: “In 1991 we walked AFrIs Great Famine Walk at Doolough and soon afterwards we walked the road to freedom in South Africa.
