Haiti - Social : Inauguration of the orphanage Amadeus in Mirebalais 18/10/2012 10:46:14
The Amadeus Orphanage in Mirebalais, Haiti, is designed to provide shelter, education, and services for up to 100 children ages 4 to 8. The building’s first floor is now open and 50 children are being housed, and more will be accommodated as the second floor is completed. Thanks to a variety of employee and customer fundraising events, over $193,000 was raised to help build the orphanage. In addition, numerous Amadeus North America employees have volunteered in Haiti toward the building effort. "Thanks to the commitment and hands-on efforts of our generous employees and customers who conducted fundraisers, competitions and other donor programs to raise funds, the Amadeus Orphanage in Haiti has now become a reality. It will provide these children with a chance at a bright future as well as the training and education they need to help transition into the real world," declared Vic Pynn, Executive Vice President, Amadeus North America.  The Amadeus Orphanage is part of a larger project by GCA to bring sustainable recovery and growth to Haiti.
