Toronto, ON – October 26 2012 – Last night the South Asian Friends of SOS Children’s Villages Canada hosted their annual Marigold Gala in support of Orphaned earthquake Victims of Muzaffarabad at the Fermenting Cellar in Toronto’s Distillery District.
The event, held annually, has become a glittering favourite, and this year was no different. The event had an aerial performance by A²D², as well as a performance by well known New York dance artist Dionisia Garcia. The fashion show this year showcased works by designer Zolaykha Sherzad who specializes in traditional Afghan pieces merged with contemporary Western fashion. Along with a sit down dinner, silent auction, and music by DJ Knoxx, it turned out to be a night to remember. All in support of orphaned or abandoned children of Muzaffarabad. Muzaffarabad was at the epicentre of an Earthquake in 2005, which left millions homeless. SOS Children’s Villages efforts came to fruition this year as the ground breaking ceremony happened in July 2012, and hope to see the completion of the SOSVillage by next summer, and become a home for 150 children.
