Support Guatemalan teachers at Breaking the Silence Fundraiser.

Breaking the Silence North Shore Fundraiser
Thursday, Oct. 18th, 6p.m.
Sugar Moon Farm

Join members of the North Shore-Guatemala Breaking the Silence Network for its fourth annual fundraiser at Sugar Moon Farm (located in Earltown between Tatamagouche and Truro) on Thursday, October the 18 th. Doors open at 6 p.m., sausage and pancakes will be served with delicious Sugar Moon-made maple syrup at 6:30p.m. Cash bar is available.

Tickets are $22.80 tax included and can be purchased from Hanna's Books in Tatamagouche or by calling Sugar Moon at 1-866-81-maple (6-2753). This is a great opportunity to meet members of Breaking the Silence, and hear from the seven interns who will be traveling to Guatemala to work with organizations there. Money raised during the evening will supplement very low teachers' salaries in a Mayan community.

The Maritimes-Guatemala Breaking the Silence Network (BTS), a Tatamagouche Centre program, has had an active presence of mutual solidarity since 1988 with the Mayan people of Guatemala and social activists who became targets of the army in a genocidal war.

Sugar Moon features pure Canadian maple syrup and maple products, Chef's Nights featuring maple syrup and maple product recipes, a log restaurant and sugar camp tours.
