Charity group holds art auction for Haiti
On Nov. 25 downtown here, Partners With Purpose, a Wellington County based charity working exclusively in Haiti on social justice and development and education issues will hold a fundraiser.
Every year Partners stimulates the economy of Haitian artisans by buying select hand cut metal art pieces, paintings and hand-crafted and one-of-a-kind Obeechi wood bowls.
They are brought to Canada by Partners With Purpose board members as they return from monitoring trips to gauge progress of the adult literacy and micro-business development loan programs.
The art is sold by silent auction with all proceeds being to Partner’s programs. The artisans receive a fair price for their work and the proceeds return to Haiti to support literacy to Haitian adults and help graduates expand or start small local businesses to support their families.
The silent auction is at The Royal City Church Hall at 50 Quebec Street, from 7:30 to 9:30pm.
The evening has local musical entertainment, socializing, and light refreshments. Parking is available in the Baker Street parking lot right behind the church.
