A graduate of Saint John High School and his mother are trying to make a huge difference in the lives of many. Pierre and Cathy Robichaud are hosting the first annual Gems of Hope fund-raiser with the goal of raising ten thousand dollars. The cash will be used to purchase a piece of property and build a new school, community center and low income housing in one of the poorest communities in Nairobi, Kenya. Pierre Robichaud tells CHSJ News, after spending time in the area this summer, he is compelled to help in any way he can.
The fund-raiser is at the Trade and Convention Center on the 13th with tickets going for $40 dollars. You can buy some by calling 648-9677.
