Absolutely amazing!
We aimed to highlight the plight of many displaced Ukrainian people being moved from College accommodation (3000) in August and to encourage people to host. We have exhibited on St. Stephens Green, Swords Castle, County Hall Dun Laoghaire, Lexicon Library and are currently working on Trinity College Dublin and Blanchardstown Library, part of Fingal Co Council Inclusion Week.
United launched by An Cathaoirleach Mary Hanafin, Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council and officially opened by Ukrainian Ambassador Ms. Larysa Gerasko. A true night to remember in County Hall Dun Laoghaire. Along with our charity partners, Helping Irish Hosts, we spoke about the project and its 2 aims to highlight the War in Ukraine and to encourage others to Host displaced people in Ireland.

St Stephens green Dublin, 2 day exhibition, wonderful response. A family approached our Ukrainian photographer & said as a result of seeing our images, they had received accommodation with an Irish jist family. Success on first outing, praying for many more matches & support for hosting families too.
As discussed with Leah on call tonight, we will exhibit this photographic collection in as many places as possible to 1. Highlight the continuation of the War in Ukraine, 2. to encourage families to host, urgently, as many are leaving college accommodation as students return for studies.
We have a slot reserved 27/28 August on St Stephens Green to exhibit and plan (with funding) to have another set of images to give to Helping Irish Hosts who embark on a roadshow in Maynooth next Thursday. We will give the images for the roadshow as soon as they are ready week of 20th Aug, all being well. Funding is needed for literature to distribute at these events and printing/mounting of images. Thank you. Sharon Burrell (Sample of image for exhibition, please do not publish, thank you.)
An excellent course, thank you, I learnt a great deal.
