Inspired by the ideals and philosophy of Mahatma Gandhi, Child Haven International became a registered charity in 1985.
They assist children and women in developing countries, who are in need of food, education, health care, shelter and clothing, emotional and moral support. They also support youngsters to serve overseas and have a life-changing experience of learning about other cultures and to help out at the same time. Friendships for life are made on such journeys.
The Elora and Fergus Unitarian Universalist congregation is hosting Ida Fisher, a long-time Child Haven volunteer, who will give her presentation “Where Passion Leads” on Oct. 28, at 10am at the Victoria Park Centre, 150 Albert Street West in Fergus.
Fisher, an active Unitarian for more than 40 years, will reflect on her ongoing, relentless activities and involvement for the past thirty years with Child Haven International. She has been an intern and volunteer with the organization helping out orphans, serving overseas and coordinating an annual fundraising dinner in Waterloo. http://www.childhaven.ca/
