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.
