Students from the Entrepreneurship/Start your Own Business Course at Coláiste Dhúlaigh College of Further Education, have cooperated to create and launch the “PawsFromUkraine” fundraising calendar in aid of the Blue Cross. 

This calendar is a curated selection of photographs that showcases the inspiring stories of some 600 Ukranian families and their much-loved dogs, many of whom risked their own lives to escape the ravages of war in Ukraine and find refuge in Ireland. The photographs within reflect on the incredibly unique bond that exists between families and their canine companions. 

This series of photographs, captured by Entrepreneurship students, Charlie Murphy and Mariia Koshyrenkova tells a unique story. Each month highlights the strength and courage it has taken these families to overcome adversity.   Charlie and Mariia travelled the length and breadth of Ireland to meet with these families and their pets and hear their courageous and inspiring stories.  

The “Paws from Ukraine” calendar is a testament to the resilience of these families and their loyal companions, capturing the spirit of hope, unity, and the enduring human-animal bond. Through a series of heart-warming photographs, each month tells a unique story, highlighting the journey taken to gain refuge.  The calendar will be supported by a documentary and Photograph book detailing each of the participants stories. 

Proceeds from the calendar will be directed towards supporting the invaluable work of the Blue Cross, an organisation dedicated to providing essential veterinary care and support for pets in need. The funds raised will contribute to the Blue Cross’s ongoing efforts to ensure that all animals, regardless of their origin, receive the care and attention they deserve. 

“We are immensely proud of our students at Coláiste Dhúlaigh for their compassion, creativity, and commitment to making this project work” said Sharon McIlvenna, Entrepreneurship Course Tutor at CDCFE. “The ‘Paws from Ukraine’ calendar not only serves as a beautiful tribute to the human-pet bond but also plays a crucial role in supporting those who have experienced the hardships of war.” 

To learn more about the “PawsfromUkraine” fundraising calendar and to show your support, follow us on Instagram at “PawsfromUkraine.” The calendar will be available for purchase online and at select local retailers and pop-up stores from mid-December.

Huge congratulations to Frank Berry who has won the best Director Award at the Irish Film & Television Awards (IFTAs). A former student and tutor of Coláiste Dhúlaigh College of Further Education, Berry beat Banshees of Inisheerin Director Martin McDonagh in the category for his film Aisha, which also won Best Script at an awards ceremony held in Dublin on Sunday.

Berry’s work focusses on hard hitting documentaries in his trademark social reality style. He aims to spotlight difficult social issues such as addiction, poverty, suicide and wealth inequality. Aisha tackles racism and looks at Ireland’s immigration system through the eyes of his protagonist, Nigerian woman Aisha Osagie, played by Leticia Wright.

The award-winning director has previously spoken out on the issue of direct provision and worked closely with groups such as Asylum Seekers Ireland to highlight what he describes as an “inhumane system” while making Aisha.

Berry previously directed the IFTA nominated “I Used to Live Here” as well as the critically acclaimed “Michael Inside”. Frank’s earlier work “Ballymun Lullaby”, is an uplifting look at the impact one person can have in a community.

In a guest lecture recently with Film Production students at Coláiste Dhúlaigh College of Further Education Frank advised students who want to get into the media industry to “practice a lot, make lots of films and then you will see your voice coming through. Hard work pays off no matter where you are”. Applications are now open online at www.cdcfe.ie for courses starting this September.
