The
history of the maze
Since 2006, Verger Labonté
has created mazes in the cornfield. This activity
is a way to have fun, enjoy nature, and learn
something new. In addtion, $1 of each entry
fee goes towards the well-being of others.
In 2006,
we presented the many faces Africa, all while
collecting $5200 for the village of Hangoumé,
Togo. This money was used to dig a well, pay
the salaries of two teachers and help the startup
of some ten small businesses by providing money
for micro credit.
In 2007,
visitors enjoyed the theme of courageous pirates.
The $6000 collected allowed 12 students chosen
by local high schools to live the Corsaro experience
(www.viiif.net/corsaro)
on lake Champlain during the week of July 13,
2008. Many thanks to the local participating
high schools: École secondaire du Chêne
Bleu, École secondaire Soulanges, École
secondaire de la Cité des Jeunes, and
McDonald high.
This year, 2008,
we invite you to discover the mysteries of Peru
in the maze in the giant corn field (over 12
feet high) and in the woods. The money collected
will go to three organisations in Peru which
help children in Peru living in extreme poverty,
that is, Aldea
Yanapay in Cuzco, Expand
Peru in Huancayo, and the Ursuline Nuns
in Lima.
