Fundraising Concert for Earthquake Victims on Friday night in Tallow Community Centre.
David Murphy, one of the organisers, has the details for Geoff on the Lunchbox.
Here's what the organisers said about the night!
SODA BLONDE & YE VAGABONDS will do an amazing concert here in Tallow, Co. Waterford, on FRIDAY at 7.30pm at our beautiful local community hall . This is a fundraiser for earthquake victims in the Northern Syria /Turkish border area. All funds raised will be used to provide immediate assistance, such as food, shelter, and medical aid, to those who have lost everything. All the funds will be sent to humanitarian aid groups working directly with people in Turkey and Syria. This is a call for us to come together and support our fellow human beings as they deal with the aftermath of this tragedy. Tickets are limited, book yours without delay for €50* to avoid disappointment! (€4.60 is eventbrite fees).
You all know this will be no ordinary concert- it will be top class but hurry its nearly sold out!
Our friend, and truly inspirational human rights activist, Caoimhe Butterly, is on the ground and has direct links to the following organisations. She will ensure that all funds raised will go where needed!
- SENED is an independent, non-governmental, non-profit organization established in 2013 and registered in Turkey with No. 27-15-175. It arose in response to the suffering of Syrian refugees in Turkey & internally displaced persons in Syria as a result of the war. It is run by a group of Syrian and Turkish activists in the humanitarian and social field, businessmen and academics, united by the values of justice, equality, and defense of the oppressed. They work with community representation and full inclusion in their programmes.
- EDD in English is Access Support Association, they do amazing work- with psychosocial teams and WASH/WATER and sanitation systems, in many camps in the Northern Syrian /Turkish border Area. EDD - Registration no: 06-145-014 Tax ID No: 3600626551

The people in the Syrian/Turkish border area have already endured inhuman suffering and it is with humility we invite you to stand in solidarity with them and support this fundraiser.
