Zimbabwe is a country that has suffered from political turmoil, financial and agricultural devastation, and a huge humanitarian calamity because of AIDS. There are many families in Zimbabwe where a child is the supposed bread winner for his younger siblings. Zanele is an organization that has taken positive steps to help alleviate this monstrous problem. The organization has adopted two villages (Nheme Village (Zaka District, Masvingo Province) and the Makwokwe Village (Gwanda District, Matabeleland Province)) and services the needs of orphans in those villages – a small but tangible step to help with a gigantic problem.
This Saturday at 6:30 pm (March 27, 2010) Zanele Poverty Relief Effort (ZPRE) is sponsoring a dinner/dance in Concord, Ontario (near Toronto) to raise money for this effort. Here are the details.
ZPRE’s 3rd Annual Dinner Dance will be held at at Le Parc, Concord on March 27, 2010 at 6:30 p.m. Le Parc is located at 20 North Rivermede Rd, Concord (Vaughan) and the tickets are $65.00 per person. Funds raised will support ZPRE’s programs in Zimbabwe.
As part of the fundraising effort at the event The Halcyon Dislocation will be selling at the regular price with 50% of the proceeds going to Zanele. So if you are able to help out by attending this dinner and dance I’d be grateful. If you could also buy a book that would be even better.
Thanks for reading,
Peter
