The international project we are supporting is Hope Child Development Program in Kenya, whose mission is to provide support and care for Orphans and Vulnerable Children, with a view of developing their full potential. Funds collected will go towards safe housing, nourishing food, health care and school fees. Volunteers from this project spoke to the children at our Ash Wednesday Liturgy today.
In addition, the funds collected on Crazy Hair and Hat Day will be donated locally to Hair Donation Ottawa whose mandate is to raise funds for child and adult cancer research and to support kids with hair loss by providing them with good quality wigs free of charge. A presentation by this organization is planned for next Monday for the students.
The children will have jars in the classroom for collection and they are invited to bring in coins any time during Lent. To help encourage the children we will have a few special events planned for Fridays.
On our event days, a loonie or toonie would be greatly appreciated.
