www.oakvillebeaver.com The Oakville Beaver, Friday February 15, 2008 - 31 Benefit concert Saturday A benefit concert for the impoverished children of Guatemala will take place at Chartwell Baptist Church on Saturday, Feb. 16. The money raised goes to Loving Arms, a non-profit corporation dedicated to raising funds to assist impoverished children and families in Guatemala through partnerships with individuals, churches, corporations and other organizations or agencies. The corporation was founded by Oakville's Linda Coghlin to provide hope and transform the lives of impoverished children in Guatemala. It seeks to help families become more self-sufficient by providing programs and activities that will benefit not only individual families but also the community as a whole. Loving Arms is currently in partnership with the Alpha y Omega Church in Parramos, Guatemala and hopes to raise funds to purchase land in Guatemala to build a community complex consisting of a church, community centre and a soccer field. The community centre will include areas for women's workshops, children's programs, youth activities, a community library, and possibly a computer lab and a classroom for English-as-a-Second Language (ESL) instruction and programs for youths and adults. Loving Arms provides opportunities to teams of volunteers to travel to Guatemala on short-term trips and use their abilities and resources to provide assistance to children and families and provide them with access to proper nutrition, medical and dental care, community programs and outreach education, training and leadership development. In April, Coghlin will lead a team of 10 from Oakville to travel to Guatemala to support and work on specific projects. The team members will have the opportunity to support various outreach programs with the Alpha y Omega Church and its members. Loving Arms will hold a benefit concert featuring Jacob Moon at Chartwell Baptist Church, 228 Chartwell Rd., at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 16. Tickets can be purchased for $20 in advance or for $25 at the door. To buy tickets, contact info@lovingarms.ca, or for information about Loving Arms, see www.lovingarms.ca. ® TOMMY DOUGLAS: ARROWS OF DESIRE Thursday February 21st Most Canadians under 50 seem to know little or nothing about Douglas Tommy Douglas: Arrows of Desire brings the depth and breadth of the Douglas phenomenon as a great statesman, humourist and storyteller to life!
