First Ever CHI Online Auction in Hardwick!

If you have attended our previous Child Haven Dinners, you know that the silent auction is a highlight! This year's Covid-safe online adaptation also features the stunning, hard-to-find-in-Vermont treasures that Robin and Bonnie purchase while visiting the Homes overseas. All bidding is online; purchase and pickup is at our drop-in fundrasier event on Saturday, September 26 in Hardwick.

Many vendors are themselves long-time supporters of Child Haven, familiar with the work that Child Haven accomplishes in their communities. They often offer special prices with which they can support Child Haven; as much as possible we also seek fair trade crafts.

Auction purchases directly fund Child Haven Children's Homes and projects. CHI functions with particularly low overhead, in large part to the dedicated efforts of volunteer fundraisers and a committed base of grassroots donors.

Winning bidders must purchase and pick up auction items at the event at Atkins Field Pavilion anytime between 11 and 5 on Saturday, September 26th. Bring your mask and money!

Inspired by the ideals and philosophy of Mahatma Gandhi, Child Haven International is a not for profit charity founded in 1985. We assist over 1300 children and women in South Asia by providing food, education, job training, health care, shelter and clothing, emotional support, and love.

CHI projects include 8 Homes for children in Nepal, India, and Bangladesh; 2 women's centers in India; and sponsorships for children and elders in Tibet. Information and pictures abound at www.childhaven.ca. If you'd like to make an easy online donation, go directly to www.childhaven.ca/donate.html.

Friends in Hardwick, Vermont have been supporting this international work since Eugene Fern created the CHI logo decades ago. This year is our 15th Annual Fall Fundraiser!
