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!

Good for him! It's always nice to hear celebrities that care. You know, it shows they have a heart and are in this industry for more than just the money. Plus it's good if people from Harry Potter give to this charity because lots of kids watch it and are big fans.
