Bekind This Christmas (Concert)
Shane Flanagan • 11 November 2024
A charity concert of festive favourites in aid of Bekind Ireland
On Thursday 28 November 2024, we held our Christmas Concert in Clontarf Rugby Club in aid of our Bekind Boys' Home, a protection home for former street children in Kolkata, India.
It was a fantastic night, featuring a host of festive favourites from various local artists and a raffle with generous prizes from local businesses.
The proceeds from the night amounted to just over €4700. We are so grateful for the generosity shown.
We look forward to seeing you at our next event!

Happy birthday Bekind Boys' Home
The saying “ absence makes the heart grow fonder ” has been uppermost in my mind over the past months. My regular Zoom or WhatsApp calls with the children in Kolkata are a help but almost two years have passed since being with them in person. I am amused by the deeper voices of some of the children as they enter their teenage years. The voices and the bodies change and a request for six new bunk beds was a reminder of how much the boys are growing. A very generous donation from a local person came just at the right time to cover the costs.
