In October 2004 Mario accompanied the TV star Dermot O’Leary and his father Sean on a trip to Sierra Leone. Dermot (BBC2 ‘SAS - Are You Tough Enough’; C4 ‘Big Brother's Little Brother’) is a supporter of Cafod (one of the biggest UK charities). His packed schedule included visiting some of the CAFOD funded schemes designed to support children and teenagers who suffered terribly during the war. The emphasis was on meeting ordinary young people at the grassroots level.
Mario covered the trip both with video footage and stills. Video images were used for BBC1 Breakfast and to produce a CD-Rom for teenagers, "Make Poverty History". Stills were used on Cafod publicity and website.
