Description
*Note that the listing has been updated to December 31, 2016 to allow supporters to donate if they wish.You're invited to come dance your heart out, Brett Bentley Crawford-style, and help raise funds for SchoolBOX. In 2016, we are building the fifth school in honour of Brett, our sister and close friend of SchoolBOX-founder Tom Affleck, in Nicaragua. The night will be a fun-filled way to kick the winter blues and transport us to warm Nicaragua. Featuring a live DJ and videos showcasing the first four Brett Schools, your support will help us Make Education Possible for thousands of children in some of the poorest communities in the world. Brett always sought ways to empower the underdog and those who needed her most. She also loved to dance. On January 29, in Brett's spirit, we will be doing both! Our fifth school is in a small, rural community in Masaya, Nicaragua. Nicaragua is the poorest country in the Americas, second-poorest in the Western hemisphere, after Haiti. We will be building a new 2-classroom building with washrooms and library to replace the makeshift, dirt floor, wood-and-scrap-metal structure that currently houses the children. The parents built the structure with the only supplies they could afford, but are eager to help build a brighter future for their kids, with your support!
