"Step Back in Time" Video Projects

A group of dedicated people in Inishowen County Donegal saw the need for a unit to help educate young adults with special needs. So they got together and decided to raise funds in a really exciting and novel way. They made videos with the theme of "Step Back In Time" 
They appeared in them themselves and have provided for us a beautiful insight into how things were done in our forefathers time. 

Please give this good cause your support and visit the video websites for further information. I've seen both video's and loved every second, they're unique, inexpensive, and can be sent abroad. They will be of immense interest to future historians.

We organized ourselves as a fund raising team to gather  funds to enable a unit to be developed for the further education  of young Adults with special needs from the Inishowen Penninsula.

The Season of Corn

Using horses and traditional farm implements they plow, sow the seeds and grow a field of oats. Then in the autumn they harvest the crop, thresh & mill it. Traditional scone bread is then baked on an open fire in a old Irish cottage. The video is filled with the best of Irish songs.  For more info visit:
