Movie Fundraiser To Send 34 Kids To School

 
  Oct 31, 2014

Dear Village of Love Supporter,

Yesterday, Andrew and Leonora Obara, founders of Village of Love, arrived from Kenya! We are thrilled that they can visit Toronto through donated air miles tickets to share with us first hand how our dollars are changing lives in the Kibera slum community. We hope you will come out to meet them at one of the events this month!

They will be present to introduce our special REVUE Cinema screening of “War Child.” Be sure to buy your tickets! You will laugh, cry and celebrate the victory of the human spirit over a tragic past. Use your credit card online or by phone to purchase both your movie and raffle tickets. Scroll down to see the exciting prizes you can win!
