Dear friends!<\/p>\n\n
The Latvian National Federation in Canada Educational and Cultural Foundation (LNAK ECF) invites you to join this year\u2019s annual fundraising \u201cDraudz\u012bgais aicin\u0101jums\u201d drive which was begun by Latvia\u2019s president K\u0101rlis Ulmanis 90 years ago. We invite you to support the IKF with a donation, so that IKF can continue to support Latvian culture and education in Canada. Thanks to your donations, IKF has been doing this since 1982. <\/p>\n\n
The Foundation grants scholarships to students with a Latvian heritage, to attend university and Latvian summer school, supports Latvian schools in Canada, teachers’ seminars, 2×2 and 3×3 camps, the “Hello Latvia” program, LNAK operations, and other cultural projects and events. Even during the pandemic, our Latvian schools continued to operate, youth continued to study, and cultural events continued, for example the “Ba\u0146uta” opera reimagined as a movie. The J\u0101\u0146a and Ainas V\u012btolu testamentary donation that funded scholarships for university students will soon be exhausted. We need your donations, so that we can continue to support Latvian culture and education in Canada.<\/p>\n\n
Thank-you to all whose donations have helped the IKF through the years. We hope for and count on your continued support. We encourage our donors to ensure that their good works and initiatives will continue by making a testamentary donation to the LNAK Education and Cultural Foundation<\/strong>. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n Sincerely,<\/p>\n\n Elizabete (Elita) P\u0113tersone
