Fundraiser for Haiti – Children’s Carnival in Exeter

I wanted to blog about an event I’m involved in this weekend.   If you are a friend of mine from facebook, then you’ve probably already heard about this, but just incase I thought it was worth posting again.  You can’t help but hear hourly updates on the radio about the devistation in Haiti.  I think at times it’s easy to feel completely helpless to do anything to help all these poor people who have lost literally everything.  Hopefully in some way I can help make a difference.  This weekend I’m going to be volunteering and taking photos at a Children’s Carnival in Exeter with all proceeds going to Haiti.  I’ve copied the write up from the facebook posting.  The event is being organized by Amanda Neilands and she writes…..

FUNDRAISER FOR HAITI

We have been talking to our kids about what is happening in Haiti. They wanted to help but weren’t sure how to go about it, so after many many interesteing ideas, Cassidy came up with the idea to have a princess party. Drew thought that maybe something for the boys would be nice as well, so we have decided on a carnival. The following will be at the carnival:

DESIGNERS FASHION CORNER
They will be painting nails and doing make up on all the girls that would like it

Bouncy Castle
Preschool Castle crawl Maze (with mini ball pond)
Crafters Station
Face Painting and temporary Tattoos
Balloon Animals
Musical Costume Parade
Giant Snakes and Ladders
Parachute games

PRESCHOOL FUN ZONE
A floor piano and ‘tiny tot’ piece – this adorable little footprint pad that makes funny sounds as the child walks on them – the PreSchool Toy Zone (assortment of age-appropriate toys) and our pop-up tent & tunnel

PROFESSIONAL PICTURES BY SANDRA REGIER

We encourage the little ones to wear there princess dresses, pirate wear, super hero costumes etc if they like

We will also have a princess and pirate for you to meet if you so like.

Admission will be $10 per child, as well accepting any donations on top of that if you can.

100% of the proceeds will be going to Haiti via Trivitt Church

Please invite all your friends to this event, we want as many kids as possible out for a really fun day and a great cause!
