Scheduling issues with the trucking company have led us to move up the shipment of items to Haiti. Items will have to be packaged this weekend.
My plans not working is par for the course, so I guess none of you should be surprised that the plan to ship items to Haiti in October changed. LOL...
Why? The trucking company that takes our supplies to Brooklyn before they can go to Haiti is booked throughout October. So they will be picking up items September 25. The good news is that it means the items will (in theory) get to Haiti sooner!
This means we have to hurry! If you have any school supplies, soccer balls, small toys, shoes, or just want to donate to help pay for the cost of shipping, now is the time! Ideally you bring them to SBU (the semi trailer by the baseball field at 10:30 on Saturday.) If you can not, you can donate online at BonaResponds.org or send items via Amazon--see below).
We are working with numerous groups across Haiti. From schools, orphanages, to soccer clubs working with the youth of Haiti). (note this is different than PositiveRipples which will be be working more with Haitian Businesses)
We are helping at several schools (books were given to over 20 schools on our last shipment) as well as orphanages throughout Haiti (From Gonaives, Port au Prince, and two new ones (for us) in the Lascahaboas and Mayer region. We have also given 3 small solar units out to schools (2 in Leogane, one in Gonaives---but they need larger ones).
Want to know more? Here are some of the interviews we have done with the people we are helping:
