<div>Hi, we´re Sean &amp; Michael — two friends (one from Cork, one living in Spain) who wanted to make learning Irish feel more like a game than a grammar test. So we invented one.
</div>
<div>We’ve already launched and tested the game. We just need your help to print and deliver enough copies to make a real impact — fast, fair, and for the future of Irish.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why Botín was created</strong>
</div>
<div>Sean explains on YouTube - <a href="https://youtu.be/tNvhkkDV8Jo" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><a href="https://youtu.be/tNvhkkDV8Jo" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://youtu.be/tNvhkkDV8Jo</a></a>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What is Botin Ireland?</strong>
</div>
<div>It’s the first-ever bilingual Irish-English board game — a fast-paced, cops-and-robbers race across all 32 counties of Ireland.
</div>
<div>✔ Teaches vocabulary and place names
</div>
<div>✔ Teaches history and heritage
</div>
<div>✔ Designed for fun, not exams
</div>
<div>✔ Already tested and loved in schools
</div>
<div>✔ Endorsed by teachers and supported by Enterprise Ireland
</div>
<div>Think Monopoly meets Gaeilge... with a speed boat.

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Our Mission:</strong>
</div>
<div>Give one free game to every school in Ireland.
</div>
<div>That’s 5,000 schools. That’s 5,000 opportunities to make Gaeilge fun again — in classrooms, staff rooms, and kitchen tables across the country.
</div>
<div>To do that, we need to raise €150,000 to cover:
</div>
<div>•	Ethical manufacturing
</div>
<div>•	Game materials, boxes, and printing
</div>
<div>•	Distribution to every school in Ireland (North &amp; South)
</div>
<div>•	A free downloadable teacher’s pack to support class use
</div>

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why It Matters:</strong>
</div>
<div>Irish is our first language — but for many students, it's still their last love.
</div>
<div>We want to change that.
</div>
<div>No pressure, no repitition-learning… just pure gameplay, excitement, and sneaky vocabulary learning.
</div>
<div>Kids want to play it.
</div>
<div>Teachers want it in the classroom.
</div>
<div>Parents love it too — especially when their kids teach them some Gaeilge.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Where Your Money Goes:</strong>
</div>
<div>Amount Raised	Impact
</div>
<div>€5 €10 €20 We know times are tight, but every contribution is importantant to us. Even €1 helps.
</div>

</div>
<div>€50	Game + name on our digital thank-you scroll
</div>
<div>€100	Game delivered to you to present to your sponsored school with presentation certificate (in Ireland only).

</div>
<div><strong>What Teachers Are Saying:</strong>
</div>
<div>“The kids didn’t even realise they were learning Irish. They just wanted to keep playing!”
</div>
<div>– Aoife, primary school teacher, Limerick
</div>
<div>“Best Gaeilge activity I’ve used in 20 years of teaching.”
</div>
<div>– Tomás, Gaelscoil principal, Galway
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>If you're Irish… or just wish you were:</strong>
</div>
<div>Help us give something truly unique to Irish students.
</div>
<div>We’re not just reviving the language — we’re giving it legs, wheels, and a Garda chopper.
</div>
<div>We’re already hearing from Irish-Americans who want to bring this game into their homes and schools too — and we’re working on ways to make that happen.
</div>
<div>Whether you donate €10 or €10,000 — you’re part of the story.
</div>
