Help us improve lives of Haitian
people!
Since the earthquake of January
12th, 2010 left over 200,000 dead, leaving millions
homeless and further crippling the struggling
island nation, the Western Canada Relief for Haiti
(a Saskatchewan based non-profit relief group
comprised of experienced volunteers) has donated
their own time and money to improving several
communities in the epicentre, which has received
very little aid.
Update: March 2011
We are proud to celebrate
the success of ...
2nd
Annual Western Canada Relief For Haiti Gala
The 2nd Annual Relief
Gala for Haiti marked the one year anniversary
of the Haiti Earthquake. The gala held on Friday
January 14th 2011, at the Regina Italian
Club was a resounding success.
The evening was well attended
by over 160 people. Our goal of raising enough
money for the small bakery was achieved. The gala
was attended by young and old who also purchased
many of the auctioned items.
It is this generosity from
our supporters that enable us to continuing helping
the villagers in HAITI. Our small village of La
petite Savanne will benefit greatly once the bakery
is up and operating. Our Team would like to thank
all who attended and gave generously to this project.
Thank you
Roland Lafrance
Chair
And the evening Gala included
silent auctions
and several interesting items of Haitian
art for sale. A local band to provided
entertainment during the evening.
Western Canada Relief For Haiti
Gala was an event to raise much needed funds for
rural based community projects including two communities
in Haiti, which 40% of the homes were destroyed.
The funds raised will help with various
projects:
- House repairs
- Basic Services (water, shower facilities)
- Road repair to allow access for further aid
- Infrastructure rebuilding such as local bakeries
and general stores
- Haitian/ Canadian students Exchange project
- Employing Haitian workers for our projects
The
Gala was held at the Regina Italian Club.
I would like to take this opportunity
to thank all of the people who have financially
contributed to our Haitian Mission. A special
thanks to all of our volunteers who continue to
work tirelessly in helping the people in our villages
of Mount-rouge and La Petite Savanne in the Grand-Goave
area.
Sincerely,
Roland Lafrance
Western Canada Relief for Haiti Gala Chairperson
