Fashion Show for Haiti

On March 27th, Danbury High School students held a fashion show to raise money and awareness for the devastation to Haiti caused by the recent earthquake. It is so wonderful to see how many people, especially teenagers want to help and how active the surrounding community is in supporting the cause to help those in need, even those in different parts of the world. The fashion show was great and it  was an honor to sit in the audience and to be a part of the fundraising efforts.

One of the ways that I have helped to raise awareness and money for Haiti was through the organization of a shoe drive within Cheshire High School. With the help of my good friend and classmate, Francesco Mazzella, this became a town-wide effort and soon enough, we raised more than 25,000 shoes! Nothing is more satisfying than to see my community join hands in working together to attack devastation. Whether it be a local issue or that of a global scale, I am glad that with the help of my community, I can do my part to help.

Thanks to everyone who helped to contribute either to the shoe drive or the Danbury Fashion Show in raising awareness and funds to help those in need in Haiti. God bless you all. Every effort counts and every cent goes to a great cause.
