WINE AND CHOCOLATE GALA COMPLETE SUCCESS

We really are about Healing Hearts, even before we get to Rwanda!  Some red wine, some dark chocolate ... what more could a heart want?  Our fundraising team of ten were able to find numerous food donors and numerous wine donors to make for a successful event.  Let me reiterate, this event would not have been possible without our donors.  Not to mention the creativeness of our team:  they did not just decorate, they created an atmosphere of a Rwandan Paradise at the Lincoln Center: resplendent with authentic woven baskets and carved wooden bowls filled with coffee beans, displayed over palms leaves atop safari animal fabric-laden tables.

We had silent auction and live auction items that I am sure made their buyers happy, but not as happy as those buyers made us!



Thank you to all of the participants who arrived, imbibed and bought: without all of you we would not be able to purchase our medicines or supplies.  We hope to see you all next year.
