Haitian Relief Efforts

Milk Bags for Haiti

This is an ongoing board-wide initiative that invites us to collect the colourful exterior milk bags and bring them to school. The bags are cut into strips and then crocheted into comfortable hygienic sleeping mats for poverty-stricken families in earthquake-devastated Haiti. Please join us in transforming household garbage into essential supplies for our brothers and sisters in Haiti. We will be collecting bags all year long - it takes 600 empty bags to create one sleeping mat. Please help us to change the face of poverty in Haiti, one milk bag at a time.

Haitian Resurrection Dancers

Our students were in awe of the rhythm and musicality of the Haitian Resurrection Dancers who danced and drummed at Pauline Vanier on Halloween Day. Their story of struggle and survival as a troupe of orphan boys was truly awe-inspiring. With cash donations from families, and the profit from the French Cafe, we have contributed $500 so far. Our fund-raising efforts will continue until November 30th. Please send cash donations to school in a baggie or envelope marked: Haitian Dancers Relief Fund. Your support will help in the rebuilding of their school and orphanage.
