IWD was invited to take part in BASE’s 3rd Annual Fundraising Event hosted by Canada’s one and only Miss Universe Canada 2009! It was a fun event with lots of great people, live entertainment and amazing food! It was also a great opportunity for us to find out more about BASE and what they do. Here is a snippet from their website:
BASE is an association by Mariana Valente; Miss Universe Canada 2009. This is the 5th year that BASE has been giving these children a day of hope and happiness at Christmas time. With your help we can provide these children with a day of fun and send them home with the necessary means to have a Christmas of their own.
In Caxambu, Brazil; your donations help to provide over 50 children per year, a day of Christmas fun and hope. By letting the children know that there are people in the world that are willing to share with them, you are changing the perspective for their futures.
The day starts off with a party for the children and their families where they can play, swim and enjoy special treats such as cotton candy and popcorn – which some have never had the chance to experience before. A Christmas feast is provided where the children can eat as much as they like throughout the day while various games are enjoyed. The most anticipated moment of the day is when Santa Clause arrives to give each child a present and time on his lap. Each gift is personalized with their name and includes school supplies for their future. Food baskets are given to their families and the day ends with a train ride through the city.
If you ever get a chance to attend the event next year I would high recommend it.
