Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., an international public service organization, and the Delta Research & Educational Foundation, in collaboration with Water in Education International, will open the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. Elementary School, The Cynthia M.A. Butler-McIntyre Campus in Cherette, Haiti June 15, 2013. The partnership between the organization and WEI, a charitable organization and a 501(c) (3) non-profit public benefit organization, began in late July 2012. The grand opening of the school comes during a pivotal time in Delta Sigma Theta’s history as it celebrates the 100th anniversary of its founding.
“The celebrations planned throughout our centennial year have not deterred us from doing what we were called to do – to serve,” said Delta Sigma Theta’s National President, Cynthia M. A. Butler-McIntyre. “Although we no longer see the images of Haiti in the news, the women of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority have not forgotten the devastated faces of our Haitian brothers and sisters after the earthquake three years ago.”
