8th Annual Back to School Event in Little Haiti

There were smiles and laughter aplenty on August 12, 2011 when The Little Haiti Neighborhood Enhancement Team (NET) Office and the Little Haiti Optimist Club held the  8th Annual Back to School event at the Emmanuel "Manno" Sanon Soccer Park on NE 2nd avenue and 63rd street.

One thousand backpacks and school supplies were given away to children who attended the event. The Green Family Foundation sponsored the event, as we have for the past eight years.

Besides the giveaways, the event featured food and refreshments for everyone, bounce houses, and live entertainment on the WEDR-FM 99 soundstage. GFF and members of the MLK (Moving the Lives of Kids) Little Haiti Community Mural Project teamed up to offer face painting for all the kids who wanted it.
