Khartum Ladies Auxiliary is a
non-profit charitable organization with membership of approximately 230 ladies.
The mandate of our organization is
to raise funds to support Shriners
Hospitals, the
Rehabilitation Centre for Children, and any organization ministering to
children with disabilities within the Khartum Shrine jurisdiction. We support
the Shrine Transportation fund as well as purchase equipment for the Rehabilitation
Centre for Children.
We provide a tote bag for each child travelling to one of the Shrine Hospitals for treatment. Each bag has the child’s name on it and contains age appropriate books, trinkets, small items of clothing plus toiletries.
More than 80 years ago, having
received a $300.00 advance from the Khartum Shrine, a Ladies Auxiliary to the Shrine Hospital
for Crippled Children, Winnipeg Unit, was born.
Today, the ladies in this group
combine fun and fund raising in such a way that benefits children with special
needs.
