The devastating earthquake that hit the Caribbean nation of Haiti on Tuesday, 12 January 2010, is believed to be its worst quake in two centuries. The devastation and destruction that it caused was overwhelming to that poor nation. According to the Red Cross, up to 3,000,000 people have been affected.
Rayjon a well known local organization has been working in Haiti for 25 years. In response to the recent earthquake “Rayjon in Haiti adapted its intervention to filling gaps which resulted in a focus upon the children, children temporarily or permanently without parents or caregivers, many of whom are also recovering from physical injuries suffered in the earthquake, including broken bones, etc.” according to Rayjon’s website.
The dinner will be a buffet style with items from the Middle East and South Asian cuisine and will also feature a silent auction and door prizes.
SMA appreciats the following businesses: Innivity Marketing Group, Maple Lodge Farms (Zabiha Halal), Triad Contracting, Degroots Nurseries, Swagelok Southwestern Ontario, and Eltanty Dentistry for sponsoring this event and is really grateful to all the businesses taking part in public donation collection.
