For my birthday I threw a fundraiser honouring the warm hospitality of the Renmen orphanage in Haiti. We had authentic Haitian food-spicy picklelese salad, petits pâtes, jerk chicken and black rice with shrimp and peas and enjoyed Kompa music. We decorated a paper mâché donation box bus with colourful designs and messages to the kids, in the tradition of the Haitian tap-taps. I was overjoyed at the end of the night to count $1400 inside the little bus to help us buy our big bus!
Even the birthday cupcakes matched our theme with a school bus (above) and Haitian flag (below)
