MIDDLETOWN – On Saturday, Jan. 23, the Lake County International Charter School (LCICS) held a bake sale fundraiser to help support Doctors Without Borders and their lifesaving efforts in Haiti.
LCICS students, teachers and parents baked all of the goodies and worked together to sell them to area residents at tables outside both the Middletown and Hidden Valley Lake Hardester’s, raising $400 to send to this world-respected organization.
The effort fit both the school’s international focus as well as its desire for community outreach.
PTC President Gina Kerr said, “It is hard for us to express how grateful we are to our school community and the communities of Middletown and Hidden Valley Lake for the many donations we received in such a short time this past Saturday. One hundred percent of the funds raised will be sent to Doctors Without Borders for Haitian relief efforts.”
Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is an international medical humanitarian organization created by doctors and journalists in France in 1971. Today, the organization provides aid in nearly 60 countries to people whose survival is threatened by violence, neglect, or catastrophe, primarily due to armed conflict, epidemics, malnutrition, exclusion from health care, or natural disasters.
