Teaching Hope and Rene’s Club Host Benefit for Bogotá Orphanage

Posted by: Kelly Duer ()

For millions of abandoned teens, the only thing scarier than the past is the thought of the future. After aging out of orphanages, they face a life of poverty and exploitation due to limited job skills, early pregnancies, and a lack of social support.

Teaching Hope provides education and training to older orphaned children in order to improve their chances of being gainfully employed upon release from the orphanage. Programs include vocational training, life-skills counseling, transitional housing and a network of caring adults to help prepare the children for adult life.

What : Please join Teaching Hope to help raise funds for the Amparo de Niñas orphanage in Bogotá, Colombia. 15 % of all food and beverage sold between 7:30 PM and 1:30 AM will be donated to Teaching Hope. A cover charge of $10 will be collected at the door, and Armonia Latina Show Band will be providing entertainment all evening. A fully loaded buffet will be available for free between 8:00 PM and 9:30 PM with paid cover.

When: Saturday, November 14, 2009
7:30 P.M. until 1:30 A.M.

Where: Rene’s Supper Club
3251 Old Lee Highway
Fairfax, VA 22030
703-385-0077
