Nós também recebemos inúmeras doações de roupinhas de bebês e de crianças maiores. Novamente, muito obrigada por suportar tão nobre causa que é a entidade FAYA.No sábado nós conseguimos arrecadar pelo menos $408 com a venda das roupas e outras doações. O tempo estava lindo e bem quente.

About Faya Orphanage
When you think of children in need – no home since their parents passed away, living on the streets, begging for food, taking care of younger siblings, missing to opportunity to go to school and slowly losing weight and the fight against a terrible disease: THESE are the deserving and precious children that Faya Orphanage takes care of.
Located in Nazareth, Ethiopia, Faya Orphanage was established by a vibrant young lady in her twenties from Saskatoon in August of 2008. It is a loving home run by competent Ethiopian staff for HIV+ (and some HIV-) children who don’t have parents or family to care for them. There are approx. 5 million orphans in Ethiopia – many of whose parents have passed away from HIV/AIDS, malaria, TB, other diseases, and poverty. Faya is one of the few places that some of these children can have a permanent home, go to school, have access to food and medication, and live without the stigma attached to HIV. Recently, the organization has also begun to sponsor poor children in Nazaret to go to school, as well as coordinate adoptions for some of the children in the home.
The organization is a registered non-profit in Canada and has applied for charitable status. Learn more about Faya Orphanage: http://
Please feel free to forward this information to any friends or family members that might be interested in the party, clothing drive, or clothing sale. And thanks so much for your help!
We can't wait to see you there!
The show stars Dorothy the Dinosaur, a graduate capital of R.A.D.D (The Royal Academy of Dinosaur Dancing!) Australia’s favourite dinosaur has performed at New York’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, the Apollo Theatre in London and even in Shanghai and now returns to the Australian stage for this brand new show! The new Dorothy the Dinosaur show has been written by Blue Wiggle, Anthony Field, who also produced the music. Anthony Field (Wiggles) has recorded the Rosy Orchestra performing songs for Dorothy and her friends to sing along with, such as the delightful "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star"! Children will love dancing to "Dr Knickerbocker" and bouncing up and down to "Come On Let’s Jump"! Captain Feathersword will be joined by Don the Postman, who sings his signature song. Wel shaked our hips with Wags the Dog and dance a fairy jig with "The Fairy Dance". Along with such hit songs as "Romp Bomp A Stomp", "To Have A Tea Party" and "Balla, Balla Bambina", audiences were ecstatic as the show culminates with "Let’s Have A Party"! The dancing is delightful and the music is really rosalicious.
