Every year I try to impress on people the difference even a fiver can make to a charity. Its hard to get across that its the little things that can end up being the most important. Last year we used the money raised to buy, among other things, a rocking chair for a hundred euro for an autistic care centre. We got a message back in January that they had put it straight into use on Christmas Eve to calm a boy who can build his frustration into rage. Instead his carer rocked him in our chair and saved everyone a long evening. Sometimes its something as simple as a 2 euro box of paints that can help a kid make a break through or just forget a condition for a while.
The photobook is one of those ways of raising charitable money that I really like. Its a win for everyone. You get a presentation quality book of some of the best photos of the best photographers in Ireland and for a fraction of what you would pay. We get enough profit/donation to buy more toys and entertainment equipment.
We hope you enjoy your book, the kids enjoy the proceeds very much!
Merry Xmas to you all,
Tom Murphy
