For fifty years, Project Children opened doors and hearts.
Born during some of the darkest years of the Troubles, this remarkable programme brought thousands of Catholic and Protestant children from Northern Ireland to America for summer respite, friendship and a chance to breathe beyond conflict.
This powerful and deeply human 600-page book, featuring over 150 photographs, tells the story through the voices of those who lived it: the children, parents, coordinators and host families whose lives became forever linked across the Atlantic.
From tearful airport goodbyes and nervous first journeys to lifelong friendships and unexpected acts of kindness, Project Children is more than a history of a programme. It is a story of ordinary people doing extraordinary things.
Built from extensive interviews, memories and personal reflections, this book explores not only the lasting impact of Project Children, but the compassion, courage and community spirit that made it possible.
At its heart lies a simple but profound truth, that even during troubled times, kindness has the power to change lives.
Pre order your copy today and become part of this extraordinary story of hope, humanity and connection..
