Wychwood Barns Haitian Fundraiser and Music Downloads That Benefit Haiti

The dire situation in Haiti has been weighing on my mind lately, but I didn't post about it because this is a local Blog.
However, an upcoming local event will benefit relief efforts in the earthquake-ravaged country.

The Toronto Artscape Haitian Relief Fundraiser takes place on our doorstep at the Wychwood Barns Saturday from 4 to 8 pm.
"The event will feature performances by Muhtadi and the World Drummers, Njacko Backo and the Toumkak Drummers, Patience Npunlwana, Spoken Word, Jacques Yams, and other artists to be announced. There will be food by Ali, so come hungry!

We will be fortunate to have a representative of Dr. Eric Pierre, the High Commissioner of Haiti, present at the event. For more information please contact Muhtadi at 416.997.3786 or Njacko Backo at 416.836.8951.
Why: Make a donation, pay what you can, cheques can made out to “Canadian Red Cross – Haiti Earthquake”. All the funds will go to the Canadian Red Cross to assist their work in Haiti."
As well, that morning "from 9:00 am to 12:00 noon, Anne Sorrenti from MPP Carolyn Bennett's
office will be cooking breakfast at the Farmers' Market at the Artscape Wychwood Barns. The farmers and vendors will be generously contributing the food. All proceeds from the breakfast donations will go to Oxfam for Haitian Relief. "
And since I'm mentioning Haiti, I just learned about a website that allows you to download music with proceeds going to Haiti relief efforts. MusicForRelief.org features music from artists as diverse as Linkin Park, Peter Gabriel, The All-American Rejects and Enrique Iglesias.
