#worldaccord

Roger’s CHYM 96.7 morning show co-host and radio personality, Adele Newton and sister Chrissy, founder of Toronto-based public relations agency VOCAB Communications, have joined forces by creating a campaign called “Sisters for Education in Honduras” to help rural communities in Honduras by supporting Kitchener-Waterloo charity, World Accord. In support of their campaign, Adele and Chrissy will be hosting the “World Accord Local Artist Showcase,” on November 25, at 7:00 p.m at theWaterloo’s Starlight Social Club (47 King Street North, Waterloo, ON). The event will feature incredible musical performances from talent such as Formerly Royalfuzz, Kendal Thompson, John Orpehus and Mike Todd as well as an auction and raffle. All funds raised will provide the materials and resources for the sisters’ expedition in 2018 to help build three schools in the rural Central American country. In 2018, Adele and Chrissy will be travelling with World Accord for a building expedition to help support access to education within rural communities in Honduras. The objective of the campaign is to improve the lives of children by means of constructing schools in their local communities and supporting World Accord initiatives to improve education, a cause close to the sisters’ hearts. If you are interested in a unique opportunity to join alongside the Newton sisters, or are interested in learning about different expeditions with World Accord, you can learn more here or email World Accord’s executive director, David Barth at [email protected]. “World Accord’s main objective is to uplift communities by working with them directly, which is something Chrissy and I have always personally believed in,” says Adele Newton. “Both having grown up in Kitchener-Waterloo, we know just how supportive our home can be which is why we created this event. We wanted to give our community the opportunity to support this initiative and learn more about World Accord and the incredible work they do. The more people we get involved, the more lives we can help change.” Starlight Social Club, Waterloo November 25 Doors open at 6:30 p.m. 7:00 p.m. - 11:00 p.m. $20 per person, available here
