Send an Irish cow to Rwanda

Donation protected
***UPDATE: We have raised enough for TWO COWS!! can we make it THREE COWS?? Please DONATE WHAT YOU CAN****

In one particular country, Irish dairy cows are completely (and udderly) transforming the lives of families. Just one dairy cow means a family can buy land, build a house, send their children to school, buy medicine when they are sick AND put food on the table every single day.

And Irish cows have a way of multiplying, helping even more families. It really is a miracle!

"Magic Cows" they should be called ....

This is going to be legend-dairy because our plan is simple:

This Christmas, by getting all the Trad Musicians from all over the globe, we can pull together to send an Irish dairy cow to a Rwandan family who so desperately needs a helping hand. (Irish trad "Moosicians" we should be called?!)

A little background: this was a fun Christmas tradition I used to share with my late mother, who used to explain the overwhelming benefits of just one dairy cow to a family in Africa (she was a hard-working countrywoman). You see, Irish dairy cows produce up to 20 litres of milk per day whereas a local cow will produce about 4 litres. With high milk yields, families can take what they need for their own use and sell the rest. Giving them the invaluable income they need to survive and thrive. This year, I thought it would be a lovely tradition to share with you, my extended musical family.

Some of the people in Rwanda have nothing. With a very little helping hand from people like you and me, lives can be transformed.

The best part is... McNeela Instruments, as a way of wishing all our customers a Happy Christmas, is going to double every penny donated!

This is not a load of bull, no misteak has been made, we're going to plough ahead and do our uddermost to send a cow to Rwanda.

And with a bit of luck we'll have enough leftover for an Irish sheep or two (that's not a joke!).

But hay, it's only possible with ewe! And a little bovine intervention. We need every single person who reads this email to get this dung, donate something, shear it on facebook, maybe you can even forward it to your friends because only together can we make it happen!​​​ We are going to milk these puns until you Click DONATE!!

It's time to raise the steaks. NOW is the time to grab life by the horns and take 1 minute to transform a family's life this Christmas by donating just a 1$, 1€, 1£, 1¥, 1¢, 1₩, 1₼ etc.

The charity that works with Irish dairy farmers (experts in their field) to send cows to Rwanda is called Bothar.ie and they take care of everything from transport, to training and helping the families get the most from their new cow.

I'm quietly cowfident this is something the traditional crowd will jump all over.

**Please take 20 seconds out of your day and CLICK DONATE NOW!!**

I hope you can join me in this very worthwhile endeavour and help change a family's life this Christmas.
