On February 27, 2010 the Apalachin Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. will be holding a Caribbean Chicken and Fish dinner in aid of Voices for Haiti, Inc and Kira Cares, Inc, two organizations that cater to the plight of street children in Haiti and Jamaica. The Haiti initiative will support a classroom that Apalachin Alumnae Chapter will adopt by providing food and classroom supplies for that class. Haiti is in great need of our help and we have answered the call by supporting education there. Kira Cares Inc., is a non-profit organization that works on projects that help support education for street children in Jamaica. Apalachin Alumnae Chapter will adopt a family in Jamaica and support ongoing programs that can help defray the cost of education for children involved in Kira Cares’ programs and initiatives. For more information, visit www.voicesforhaiti.org and www.kiracares.org.

The Chicken and Fish dinner will be held at Trinity Memorial Church, 44 Main Street, Binghamton (Across from Binghamton High School). Tickets are only $10 and for that you have a choice of Caribbean Jerk Chicken, Curry Chicken, or Fish. Sides include Macaroni and Cheese, Caribbean Rice and Beans, and Salad. Each meal is accompanied by a tasty dessert. If you have been thinking of ways to donate directly to Haiti without going through large organizations such as the Red Cross, here’s one way you can do so and get a meal in return. The event is from 12-7pm on Saturday, February 27. Bring the entire family and eat in or take out dinner or lunch that day!
