CFC Kids assists Amy LaFleche in charity work in China

In August, AMY LAFLECHE will be travelling to the Warithang Zadou Orphanage in China for one month to volunteer and complete a documentary. The documentary will be screened across Canada to raise awareness and funds for the orphanage. Since her stay is too short to have formal English lessons, she will be teaching through art, music, and fitness. As part of her role as a volunteer, she will be teaching the orphans fitness and games - CrossFit style!

There are currently 180 children at the orphanage and they are accepting 50 new children in September 2009. Our organization does not use any money for administration or volunteer travel so 100% goes directly to the orphanage. Every year a group of volunteers goes to the orphanage to ensure all the money is used accordingly and gets to the right people (the children).

CrossFit Calgary is pleased to present Amy with $100 of Childrens’ Sport equipment for her visit.

For more information about the Himalayan Orphanage Project and for information on how you may help out, you can contact Amy at amy@laflechemedia.com.
