Amnesty International Fundraising Day in Westport

category mayo | miscellaneous | event notice author Thursday August 06, 2009 12:59author by Amnesty Galway - Amnesty International Report this post to the editors

Amnesty International members will take to the streets of Westport on Friday 21 August as part of a major fundraising drive and will have an information stand in the town centre all day. The organisation has also appealed for people interested in helping out on the day,or working on our human rights campaigns to get in touch.

“We don’t take money from the Government,” said Colm O’Gorman, Amnesty International Ireland’s Executive Director. “It means we can protect our independence as a campaigning organisation and we rely completely on the generosity and support of ordinary people.

“In the middle of an economic recession there is a real danger that human rights will be forced to take a back seat, making events like this even more important. The more people willing to lend a hand on the day the better and we’d very much welcome people getting in touch and offering to help out with the collection.”

Volunteers for the event can contact Tommy Roche on 087 207 0737.
