There is presently talk of organising another fillawelly soon, this time for one of the most densely populated places on earth: Kibera, one of, if not the largest slum in Africa. To help the Tenderfeet project, set up by pastor Nick Macharia, whom I met in Genova and who left Africa for the first time to seek assistance for the work he was been at for over 20 years. If anyone is interested in getting involved email me

2 videos from the project

another stevens day, another global disaster
tsunami hits SE asia, reports that @ 24,000 dead

http://www.concern.ie/pressroom_latest.php?Ds_pressroom_latest_ToStep=step_load_news&news_id=193

fillawelly 2 will happen again on the last weekend of january

last year, @ 40 people walked, it was the worst weather ive walked in, in a long time, it was wet, very very wet

we raised @ €7,000, all of which went to bam, via trocaire emergency fund that was set up

fillawelly 2 will happen in ireland, spain, italy, so far,
perhaps fellow EASAians might do similar walks and raise cash for this emergency
that would be easy to organise, hugely meaningful and badly needed, and also a top quality fun event that everyone can freely participate in
will you?

before this dreadful event happened, we had agreed to do the walk again, and we agreed to do a "global-local" fundraiser, whereby cash would be split between, at the time darfur, and local irish "residents against racism"

we had agreed to do this event every year,
it happens to fall on the celtic festival of imbolc, which marks the new lease of life, the start of spring

fair play for checking out those details if they are there

wellie man is sending us up wellies to collect the cash in
i got his flyer from my uncles in lahinch, county clare

it is not a front for him- we approached him out of the blue, he is just beiing helpful

i dont care whether he supports hunting or not. i dont, but dont have time to sort all these little things

people are dying

Ok, so this may well be worthy of support, but has anyone checked out this 'Wellyman' website? It's got links on there to Countryside Ireland- pro-hunt lobby group- as well as the National Association of Regional Game Councils and BASC in Britain.
Can't help thinking that this is a crude attempt by hunt scum to present themselves as caring individuals in an attempt to win over support from the wider public for their more nefarious activities.

dident think of it like that
im not a muslim, i was in bam 4 and a half years ago.
but on the drink note- i was offered much raki (asian sort of putcheen) in the town before bam, yazd

im just part of a group doing what we can to get cash to people who need it. simple

i drink, i auctioned a can of beer, irish people gave money- thats positive

we hope that FILLAWELLY will be a success, and loads of money gets out there. with that less people die, more survive

inshallah

An abomination! Selling alcohol for the relief of Bam. May Allah in his infinite wisdom, compassion and mercy smite you down.

the picture above is of the first FILLAWELLY that we made at Etaoins going away party in mullanahone, county tip. the party was great and we got some cash, the can of dutch gold beer was auctioned at 8.28 on the sunday morning, we got €3.85 for it.
