After the earthquake in Haiti my sister Diane and I created a community initiative to assist an orphanage in Haiti. We collected almost 500 backpacks and filled them with new clothes a hygiene packet and school supplies. We engaged community leaders, schools, local businesses, homeschoolers, family and friends.
The backpacks were boxed and shipped to a warehouse in New Jersey where they awaited being put in a container for a boat that would eventually get to Haiti and eventually to Bon Rapos were they would be distributed. There have been delays and more delays in the shipment, but I have been reassured they will be in Haiti soon.
Through a friend Diane found Day Springs Ministries and their NJ Director Carol Hawthorne. She oversees the orphanage in Haiti www.DayspringMinistriesHaiti.org
I have volunteered to visit Haiti with the next group that is going from Day Spring and will leave November 12, 2010
