Ugandan Orphanage Benefit

Last night I worked nights (11pm-7am), I went and got 3 hrs sleep, then cruised down to Victoria Park for 10am this morning to volunteer at a Ugandan Orphanage Benefit concert. What a beautiful day, a wee bit scorching though! Hot! Anyways, the benefit was in connection with the Miramichi-Uganda Foundation. They have (or support) an orphanage in southeastern Uganda with about 400 kids whom recieve education, food, shelter, etc there.

The lineup was supposed to be Cynthia MacLeod, Al Tuck, Liam ?, Catherine MacLellan, Elephant Rock, and Mars Hill. Cynthia couldn't make it though, and neither could Mars Hill. Too bad, oh well. All in all about $1200 was raised. $20/mth will support a child a month, so some kids were sponsored, blah, blah, blah. Personally, I would've liked to see many thousands of dollars raised, but hey, $1200 is good! Also it was pretty cool cause Stephanie and K-Rock 105.5 were in da house helpin get the word out.

OK, some pics and video:

So there you have it. A day at Victoria Park, with a good cause. Now I have to go shower (I stink!!) and get a couple hrs sleep before heading back into work for 11pm tonight as well. Later.
