Charity Concert Held at Husson University

By: Chris Bouchard bouchardc@students.nescom.edu

Last Friday, a concert was held at the Furman Center at Husson University. The purpose of the concert was to collect school supplies for children in Iraq. Schools in Iraq require children to purchase all of their supplies beforehand. Since these children don’t have the luxury of being able to easily obtain such supplies, many kids end up going without. Mike Goulart, the man behind this event, served in the Army as part of the 82nd Airborne Division for 5 and a half years, and spent 27 months of that time at war. Due to the nature of the fundraiser, Goulart decided that admission should be paid in school supplies as opposed to cash (though, if you didn’t bring school supplies, you could still go as long as you paid three dollars).
