Devon Murray, (Seamus Finnigan) from the Harry Potter movies, recently kicked off
off UNICEF Ireland's Kids Helping Kids campaign. The campaign hopes to raise €100,000 ($128,172), with funds going directly to support UNICEF programs to bring safe water to children caught up in emergency situations.
Devon, who is from Kildare, launched this year's campaign at a children's party and said:
UNICEF Ireland want children right across the country to get involved in this year's 'Kids Helping Kids' campaign. There are lots of ways to have fun and raise money for UNICEF's safe water programmes for children at the same time.
Please join this year's campaign - it's a great event that everyone can easily participate in!

Using the influence he has now to do good for other, how noble is he. That's good. He should help whether he is famous or not.

I think that this is wonderful. And it's wonderful to hear that some of the other actors are working on such important issues as this. From the beginning, it's all been Dan, Emma and Rupert but to know the others are doing important works is wonderful as well. These actors are good role models for our youth.

Yet another member of the HP cast who is actively involved in helping charities! They are such an altruistic buch, it really is amazing. That said, I now feel really kind of guilty for not giving more to charity in comparison . . .

Aw, what a sweetheart! People who have the money and recognition to help others should definitely do just that, especially help children. Celebrities should use their powers for good, not evil!

That's a good idea. With so many kids in the world, they might have more money. It'll really help with all the disasters that seems to be goin on around the world.
