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!

It is so amazing to see that the 'child' stars of Harry Potter have grown to be fine examples of young adults. They are great role models for the generation to come and I'm glad they were chosen to be part of Harry Potter.

That's great, he wants to help other kids.
I really admire him for that. Even though he's hit it big in Harry Potter, he still want's to give something back.
WOOT!!

It is nice to see that even the minor characters are giving back to others who arent as fortunate as those who are starring in multi million dollar movies!

Its great seeing young actors being selfless, I hope the morals and ethics dont get destroyed by the business. It's similar to Dan getting people to donate money rather buy presents.
