CMLI class leads to support Pakistan's food famine relief

The first class of CMLI has taken charge and is planning to engage Winnipeg's many cultural and ethnic communities, and in so doing this build solidarity to support the current relief and long-term recovery of Pakistan.

CMLI's first class has taken the lead to think, plan, and act to support Pakistan's famine relief and recovery. 

The event is on September 1, 2010 from 7:00 p..m. - 11:00 p.m. at Riddell Hall, at the University of Winnipeg.

There will be a short program, then we will break the fast and then be entertained by community groups.

The goal is to raise money, awareness and strengthen community relationships across the diverse Muslim cultural and ethnic communities, and the many cultural communities in Winnipeg.

 

The money raised will go to Human Concern International:

 
"Human Concern International (HCI) is a Canadian, Federally Registered, charitable organization existing "to help alleviate human suffering" by Investing in Humanity. Since 1980 HCI has contributed over $90 million dollars towards facilitating Sustainable Development through long term development projects, and maintaining Human Dignityby providing immediate relief assistance to many poor and strife torn countries and to local causes in Canada.

We have provided financial assistance Health Care, Agriculture, Human Resources Development, Relief and Public Education. We are working in 34 countries with regional offices and local partners.

 

Around the globe we have sponsored over 2000 children. For as little as $30 a month, we have provided medical, educational and other basic needs to children up to the age of 16 years. In Canada we have assisted during the Manitoba Floods, Ice Storm in Eastern Canada and Quebec and with the B.C. Inferno Victims, provided food, clothing, shelter, medical services and educational services to the needy and homeless.

 

WITH 95% OF FUNDS COLLECTED GOING DIRECTLY TO HCI RELIEF PROGRAMS, DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS AND DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS, HCI stands firm in its resolve to extend a helping hand to all those who are suffering anywhere and everywhere around the world!
