CanadaPLUS Foundation aids Hospital Del Nino

The Hospital Del Nino is the latest recipient of a donation from the annual  Carols by Candlelight charity concert organized by the CanadaPLUS Foundation.

Each year, the Foundation uses funds raised at the concert and other events to make donations to local institutions in the form of cash or equipment.  Some of the earlier beneficiaries were: Hospital Santo Tomas, Fundacion Calicanto,  Hogar Malambo, INAC, National Ballet, and Vision of Hope. 

In addition scores of thousands of dollars have been funneled into the local business community through the Foundation ’s fundraising activities.

This year the Foundation donated equipment that enables medical staff to audit the hearing of potentially deaf young patients and display the results on screen to family members and to train interns.
