She spins every Friday night at Buddha Belltown. For the event she will be mixing some funk music into her set.
About Madagascar: The world's fourth largest island, Madagascar, is a Republic struggling under debt, environmental degradation, exploitation of its natural resources, and widespread poverty. One in seven children will die before the age of five, and half of all children suffer from malnutrition. Childbirth kills 1 out of every 26 women. Ancient scourges such as the plague, cholera, and polio still stalk the populace; infections such as tuberculosis, schistosomiasis, and malaria are also major health problems. Health resources, where they exist at all, are extremely limited.
About the Hospital: Andranomadio Hospital, a small hospital and clinic in the center of the island treats over 20,000 people annually. Seattle Doctor, David Roesel is a welcome colleague and friend who works side by side with local doctors and nurses caring for desperately ill patients, and holds training sessions for the staff to improve the quality of care. He returns to Andranomadio Hospital in August 2007 bringing much-needed medical supplies, training materials, and assisting in the care of the sick. His long-term goal is to forge partnerships which will allow Andranomadio to develop into a national center of excellence in medical care. He plans to bring medical care out into the rural communities, where there are currently no health
facilities at all.
About the benefit: Avec Amour: Giving Back at Waid's is part of a larger mission for Waid Sanvil (Waid's) as well, his personal mission is to forge community alliances in Seattle and produce events that support global health, eventually supporting health resources in Haiti which suffer under similar conditions as Madagascar. As a close friend to Doctor Roesel, producing this event brings him closer to this mission. At the event there will be a raffle with great items!
