Each year, the team here at Kenner CVI hosts International Night, an evening of multicultural performances and food, a celebration of the international community of Peterborough and the surrounding areas.
Since 2011, we have come together to celebrate and honour the diversity within the Kenner and Peterborough communities. Each year our student committee plans a night of performances and dining that showcases this diversity.
The event will be on November 27, 2019, at Kenner Collegiate and Vocational Institute in Peterborough, Ontario.
Tickets cost $25 for Adults and $15 for Students.
There will be a silent auction, and proceeds will go to our chosen charity for this year, UNICEF. The UNICEF project we've chosen to support is their relief for the humanitarian crisis in Yemen.
UNICEF is working with partners in Yemen to provide health and nutrition support, clean water and hygiene services. Between January to April 2019:
Over 84,256 children with severe acute malnutrition were admitted to therapeutic care.
Nearly 4,045,110 people received access to safe drinking water. Additionally, over 1.7 million people living in high-risk cholera areas had access to household-level water treatment and disinfection. Clean water supplies are being established through the provision of electricity in communities.
Almost 42,000 children under the age of 1 received the measles and rubella vaccination and just over 151,000 were vaccinated against polio. Specialized health services are being delivered for children with injuries and disabilities and to reach the most vulnerable.
Over 48,438 children were provided with basic learning supplies, and an estimated 64,387 children accessed education with UNICEF support. UNICEF is focused on preventing the education system from collapse and ensuring that infrastructure, learning materials and teachers are available to continue working with children.
For every child.
UNICEF works in over 190 countries around the world. In response to a disaster, UNICEF helps ensure that affected children and families can get clean water, that there are safe spaces for children, that education and health services can continue, that trauma and psychosocial support are addressed and that basic humanitarian supplies are distributed.
