Building a Classroom to Free More Dalit Children

As a community, we are commited to serving those in need - both in our own city and overseas. We have begun a partnership with Dalit Freedom Network in order to be a part of the amazing work happening in India. 

We are committed to raising $20,000 to build a new classroom at VLK Good Shepherd School, so that more Dalit children can receive freedom through education.

    Vivaldi's 4 Seasons a hit!

    On Saturday night we had an absolutely packed house for Vivaldi's 4 Seasons. Lights were low, strings were soothing and magical, and everyone showed for this beautiful night. Having to add four more rows of chairs before the show starts is always a good problem to have.

    From admission donations and donations from snacks and drinks we raised a total of $2469.20!

    That now puts our grand total at $15,194.95.  That's 76% of our goal!

    Great work everyone! Thanks for all your hard work and dedication.

    Giving Update

    Grace Vancouver has had many wonderful events in the last few months to raise money for DFN and the classroom we are working hard to build.

    In August we had a wonderful classical music concert and in September a rummage sale. Members of our community have come up with great ideas as well and have hosted events from selling handmade bags to family photo shoots with proceeds going to DFN. 

    Our new grand total is an impressive $12,785.75. That's 64% of our goal!

    Please join us for our next event on December 1st at Grace Vancouver for an evening of Vivaldi's Four Seasons performed by Camerata Bella Musica and soloist Dominic Woo. Entrance is by donation and music starts at 7:30pm.

    $4,245 Raised for a Dalit Classroom!

    On May 26, 2012, we held a benefit concert to raise funds for our classroom. The evening featured chamber music performed by four local musicians. Congregants and community members gathered to enjoy the program and support the cause.

    We are thrilled to report that $4,245 was raised that evening - over one fifth of our total goal!

    Join us on August 25 for our second benefit concert!
