On the evening of Saturday, November 6^th 2010, friends of Haiti and EnviroSynergy hosted the well attended, culturally rich fundraiser: “An Evening of Art, Music & Conversation in Support of Haitian Recovery” to generate resources for immediate use in the rebuilding of a school in the hillside village of Kenscoff above Port-au-Prince, Haiti.

As we prepare to allocate the $6,645.18 raised through donations, art sales & silent auction bids to the “Ecole St. Philomene School”, we would like to thank our generous supporters and participants who, without hesitation, came forward to address & embrace this cause. Specifically we would like to express our gratitude to our donors & volunteers:

The success of this benefit produced enough funds to enable the purchase of desks, chairs & chalkboards to satisfy the needs of the Ecole St. Philomene School which was recently able to lease for a 1 year term a more appropriate facility and move away from the tents used as class rooms since March, 2010. The decision to purchase the furniture and durable equipment was made to allow the school to function efficiently as it prepares to find a more permanent location.

EnviroSynergy & our sponsors are especially pleased to have successfully provided attendees the opportunity to become more aware of Haiti’s current situation as well as allow them to experience, through a variety of activities, more about this complex island nation and to actively participate in a program that is bringing much needed resources & improvements into the daily lives of nearly 300 children and their community.

Thank you once again to our supporters.  We remain grateful to have connected with each of you during this charitable, awareness raising event.
