Hi again!
In our next event, Rio Tasia Guillaume will be hosting the “Restavek Freedom Haiti Benefit” at American Youth Dance Theater (AYDT) to raise awareness and support for Restavek Freedom Foundation in their mission to end child slavery in Haiti. This event is to kickoff our upcoming summer trip to Haiti, when Rio will once again be teaching dance to the 15 girls of Restavek Freedom’s Transitional Home. Joining us will be a couple first-time Haiti visitors: Ms. Rio’s very own students from AYDT!
The event will include a “Performing Arts Showcase”, featuring Garry Guillaume and Les Serviteurs GBF, AYDT’s studio company The Firebirds, The Christian Cultural Center Dance Ministry, and more! Also displayed will be “The Exhibit”, a museum-like visual experience to help participants understand what a typical day in the life of a “restavek” is really like.
