Site Launch: HomelessChild.ie

Homeless Child: Building a Brighter Future for Brazil's Street Children

We’ve been working away on HomelessChild.ie for quite a while, squeezing it in between paying jobs and a leaking roof, and I’m delighted it’s finally launched. This Irish charity works with homeless street children in Rio who face dire poverty, constant hunger, horrific conditions and an epidemic of childhood crack addiction that would break your heart.

This site represents donated time and effort from a group of great folks. Many, many thanks to Chris Mehigan who put his ace copywriting skills to work, to Guillermo Moreno and John Handelaar who customised endless PHP, and to Blacknight who very generously donated transfer fees and hosting for this project and for the Portuguese version launching shortly.

I’m not going to ask you to donate, but there are loads of simple ways you can help. Please make a (no cost) Travel Pledge – we’re hoping this campaign will help raise awareness and generate press for Homeless Child. Pledge, and share your pledge on Facebook and Twitter. Thanks a lot!

    A huge thank you to you Sabrina for your generosity of time, expertise, brilliance, patience, more patience and then some more patience with showing me how to do my job better than I could ever do myself. John, Chris, and Guillermo as well, a heartfelt thank you. Really appreciate the support.

    Hi Sabrina, I was at your Refresh Dublin presentation but could not be able to stay to talk to you that evening.(car clamped, 120 euro fine, long story) I like your view on the web design in Ireland. I also appreciate the work you do. Is there no blog post about Refresh event or is just me who can’t find things on your website? (a search box could be handy). Hope to meet you sometime at the next event in Dublin. Good luck.

    Wel done to Sabrina and the rest of the team. The site looks great. I suppose the real test comes now. Hopefully it will be high-profile and effective in hightlighting the cause. I had not known of it before…I’ll be making a donation.
