Success! VHP kicks off the Year with Art Sale in St. John’s
September 12, 2011 by admin
VHP’s very first art sale of the semester was a huge success!
This past Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Vassar students and community members joined hands with the Outreach Committee of St. John’s to host an art sale, whose proceeds will kick off the building of a two-room clinic in Chermaitre, Haiti. The colors and brush strokes of Haiti’s artists truly inspired the residents of Washington, CT who hope to see us again in the near future! With their help, VHP helped raise a little over $13, 900!
The clinic forms part of our medical initiative’s greater effort to provide the village with consistent, quality medical assistance. Interested in forming part of our budding medical initiative? Contact David Bridgman-Packer, a senior at Vassar whose Emergency Medical Training and interest in Global Health makes him head of the initiative. Dabridgmanpacker@vassar.edu
Great entry! I am glad to read of such dedicated students coming together for a cause.
