Unwrap a heartwarming gift this Valentine’s day

Oxfam Ireland Press Release
9 February 2007

IImagine buying one gift this Valentine’s Day that could put a smile on your loved one’s face and help children in a developing country to lift themselves out of poverty?

Instead of (or as well as!) treating your partner to a romantic meal, why not select the gift of Dinner for Two from Oxfam Ireland’s Unwrapped catalogue this February 14. Your gesture will do more than show your loved one you care – it will also provide food for two children orphaned by AIDS for a whole month - and all for only €56 / £37.

For a sweet treat to share, add on a ‘little extra’ box of delicious Fairtrade Mango Divine Delights for only €7.50 / £5.

Altogether, that’s €63.50 / £42 well-spent on making a real difference to the lives of the world’s poorest people.
