Dinner in Durham to Benefit Children in Haiti

A Haitian dinner to benefit HELO, Inc. will be held on Saturday, August 18, from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at 43 Fowler Avenue in Durham.  Tickets are $30 for a Haitian meal, beverages, and Haitian music highlighted by a live performance by the Union Brothers.

There will also be a silent auction and a 50/50 raffle. Elisabeth Kennedy, of Middlefield, co-founded HELO (Home, Education, Love, Opportunity) in 2007 providing a home for 12 children in a modest rented house near Les Cayes on Haiti's western peninsula.  HELO has since grown to include three homes and a school for 52 children and plans to expand to reach out to more of Haiti's orphaned and abandonded children. 

Your donation of $30 will make a real difference at HELO, providing a days' meals for an entire home, or meals for one child for two weeks, or pay one-third of a teacher's salary for a month. You can learn more by visiting http://www.helohaiti.org/  

Please join us to celebrate the culture and cuisine of Haiti and support the beautiful children of HELO.  The event is hosted by Cloe Poisson and Molly Dudko.
