The Have a Heart for Haiti fundraiser on Friday, March 2, 2012, was a great success!! The best part of the evening was the outpouring of support from the community for Haiti, Hospital Albert Schweitzer, and Sister Cities Essex Haiti  projects in Deschapelles.   Thank you to all who came, donated, volunteered and supported SCEH.

Over 200 people enjoyed the music of Bob Lamothe and his Blues Band while sampling Haitian cuisine and perusing the hundreds of photographs on display.  The Left Bank Gallery, on Main Street in Essex, was filled with current and historical photos of the Hospital and the several projects that SCEH and ODES are collaborating on: library, music, early education teacher training, and sports.
