This took me a while to finally complete and get it uploaded...but here it is! I wanted to get the chance to share the events of this evening with friends, family, and supporters, who were unable to make it that night - hope you now have a chance to check it out!
...The "Spring for Swaziland" event, which took place on April 28, 2010 at Nita Nita, in Brooklyn. Thank you, Katie McCaskie!! Learn more, and hear about Cabrini Ministries in Swaziland. :)

Over $2000 was raised, from Katie's efforts! The proceeds from this evening went to support children through Cabrini Ministries Swaziland. Their holistic model includes food and shelter, as well as psychosocial services, education sponsorship, and collaboration with and support for children's remaining family members. Swaziland has the highest rate of HIV/AIDS in the world at almost 30% of the population. Current statistics estimtate that over 60,000 children have been orphaned in Swaziland (a country of 1 million) as a result of HIV/AIDS.
Great video. Wondering who Katie is because there's a good chance I'll be visiting Cabrini Ministries during spring break. Would like to find out more about her visit.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jerry! Katie volunteered in Swaziland at Cabrini Ministries for a little bit - she is no longer there, but the passion inside her still lives!
