Bermuda to Host Telethon to Assist Haiti
After the success of both MTV and BET’s telethon’s for Haiti, Bermuda is to follow suit – in a smaller style of course. Premier Dr. Ewart Brown formed a coalition of Bermudians from all three political parties to support and promote a special telethon. Entitled ‘To Haiti With Love’, the telethon organizers hope to raise $100,000 for three charities working in the Caribbean nation;
- Caribbean Disaster Emergency Management Agency [CARICOM]
- The Salvation Army
- Feed My Lambs, run by Bermudian Phillip Rego
West Indian Association director Susan Moore-Williams is organising the event, which will air March 8 from 7.30 p.m. to 10.30 p.m. on VSB Channel 11 and CITV Channel 2.
