Emerald Isl

Hi my name is Eddie, Eddie Hughes.

I am Irish businessman with a background in sales and business development. And with your support, my dream is to create a non-profit organization called Emerald I.S.L. Emerald I.S.L will be a Youth Advocacy Centre in Ireland, housed in beautiful surroundings of Avondale House in Rathdrum, Co Wicklow.

Its main purpose will be that of running an all year-round two-week live-in “Outdoor Adventure Camp” for young people (13 to 18) who are at such an important junction in their lives.

In the year 2005 on the 31st of January , we lost a family member to suicide. My hope is to give meaning to this loss by doing my part to care for our young people in Ireland – all of them, wherever they are at.

I ask you for your support to help create Emerald I.S.L.

Emerald stands for – Be Engaged, Be Motivated, Be Empathic, Reflect, Ask, Learn and Develop
This is the message we want to pass on to young people in Ireland today.
