North Shore is getting creative and we will feed the children of St. Louis d'Ayiti this year in a different way!
A Night to Nourish- Silent Auction for St. Louis d'Ayiti
On October 24, Greg and I plan to attend the silent auction at Christ Church of Hamilton/Wenham to participate in raising funds to provide local provisions for our students. Tickets are only $50 per person and there will be music, great items to bid on and even some food and drinks. This is my 7th years participating in feeding children in Haiti and this year they need our help more than ever. The violence and chaos in Haiti has escalated but our children continue to be protected by their mountainous isolation. They have been going to school and getting food through local provisions as the packed food can not be delivered from the north. (see map below)
Fund Raisinggoals:
$40,000 will Provide Lunches for 240 students through 2026, including the summer months!
Let me tell you a few things about Haiti:
50% of Haiti's population is starving.
Only 60% of adults can read at a 6th grade level.
The average income is $350 per year.
Some children cannot count of even one meal a day.
Packathon food has always arrived safely, though sometimes delayed.
Their government is in disarray due to gang violence in the capitol, but in Future Forward for Haiti's partner communities in the mountains, school continues each day.
