World Vision Dance a thon by Wind and Tide Preschool!!!

In 2004 Wind and Tide began a partnership with World Vision Canada to provide help to the children of Africa. Since beginning this partnership, we have seen a school built and furnished and now we are participating in a project called Alive by 5. With the monies raised, while our students dance, World Vision is able to provide the following to children and families in Ethiopia:

1. Improve dietary intake for children under five and families
2. Improves access to essential health services and healthy environments
3. Strengthen capacity of communities and institutions to implements programs to address malnutrition
4. Area Development Programs

Each year we have the privilege of hearing stories from our World Vision Representative of how the support from Wind and Tide families is making a difference in the lives of children and families in Ethiopia.
At the beginning of February, your child will bring home a letter along with a donation envelope explaining how your family can get involved with this project. Participation in this project is completely optional. If you choose not to participate as a family, your child will still feel that they are participating as a member of the class.
In the middle of February, all Wind and Tide students will spend a day dancing in their classrooms. Leading up to that day, the teachers will explain to the students how their day of dancing will make a difference in the lives of many children and families in Ethiopia. Families are encouraged to join us on our dance-a-thon day, but you must be warned that dancing is NOT optional!!
