Hello Denman Island!
Do you know Ruth Toussaint Kirwin is inviting you to dinner?
Every two weeks Ruth is going to put on a delicious dinner, by donation, at the Back Hall with the next one being on Sept.30th at 4:00. And you can contribute by helping her to afford the care of many Haitian refugee children in her other home of the Dominican Republic.
This has been a tough year down there, with the children losing their right to education and medical care because they lack citizenship. But together we can finance the legal process for them to become citizens, one child at a time.
Then there will come the need to, as you can see from the photo, to get them their school uniforms. Yes, kids still wear uniforms to school in the Dominican Republic!
So please remember you’re invited to dinner on Sept.30th at 4:00. Ruth can be reached at 250-650-2553. (Perhaps one of you has expertise in fund raising and would like to help Ruth with this big responsibility. Help of any kind would be greatly appreciated.)
