More about the Haiti Benefit Concert and Bake Sale
We know that many of you join us in mourning the loss of life and tragic devastation for the hundreds of thousands of people in Haiti that have been affected by the earthquakes.
As a school community, we asked what we could do to help and decided to host a benefit concert and bake sale this Saturday, January 30th from 4:00 pm until 9:00 pm.
The concert will feature Gypsy Moon in the early afternoon and North of West in the evening.
All the funds that we raise will be donated to Bumi Sehat, a non-profit organization founded in 1995 in Bali. Bumi Sehat (Healthy Mother Earth Foundation) is a non-profit, village-based organization of dedicated families, midwives, doctors, nurses, teachers and volunteers from countries around the world. They have experience in disaster relief, both from the tsunami and from other earthquakes. Their focus has been to support maternal and child health through effective disaster relief. You can find more information about them and their work at their website.
You are warmly invited to join us this Saturday. Donations are on a sliding scale. We hope that together we can make a difference.

Dear friends,
Thank you all so much for your support and for coming out and dancing last Saturday night! The music was amazing, the snacks were delicious (especially Ms. Marie Christine’s polenta and Senora Pilar’s stuffed mushrooms!) We didn’t have a huge turnout (busy weekend, rainy evening) but managed to raise $932 and gathered 4 big boxes of children’s clothing! What an amazing community—it is a blessing to be part of it!
