I have 150 lbs of clothes ready to go to Haiti! Now I am focusing on the other items. My son spoke to his 4H teen group last night and gave out a list. All the kids are going to bring things from the list with them to the November meeting. I have emailed our local elementary school principal, I presented the idea of the school children becoming involved by gathering and donating school supplies. I look forward to hearing back from her. I have started to gather the items I need for me personally while in Haiti.
I am getting a little stressed, I will leave in about 6 weeks. I have traveled before, but nothing like this! I want to be as helpful as possible, but it must be done in a manner that shows how much I respect the Haitians and not make them feel as though I am putting them down.
