Treasure Hunt for Haitian island
St. John will stage its own version of The Amazing Race in a couple of weeks. A treasure hunt to raise money for Ile a Vache, Haiti.
The treasure hunt is part of a larger, multi-island fundraising series for Ile a Vache by St. John musician Michael Beans, who will perform as part of St. John’s daylong treasure hunt event. St. John’s 3 Sail Church is organizing St. John’s participation.
Church member, and Today’s Flowers owner, Laurie VanKuren is helping get things ready for the treasure hunt. She explains what it’s all about, and has some tips for treasure hunters, in our interview with her, here.
And, here’s Michael Beans himself, talking about his fundraising tour.

The most fun I’ve had all day is clicking play on the last 6 posted videos all at the same time. Sounds like a game show!
I think I need a vacation now~

My organization, Waveplace, just reached out to this organization because of this blog post. We’re likely doing a pilot this June in Petite Riviere de Nippes, Haiti .. there might be a chance to work in both locations. You might recall we did our first pilot at Guy Benjamin School last year (along with three more in Haiti, Florida, and Nicarauga).
We’re in the middle of another in St Thomas right now. Anyway, just thought you’d like to know. (To get a real sense of our work, watch the Nicaragua video off our home page, by none other than Bill Stelzer.)
