Packages to Haiti

Jodesson's package contained the items below. It was right at the 5 pound mark. Whew! It was $11 to ship to Florida, and $7.50 to go from Florida to Haiti




I wrapped their packages in small garbage bags, wrapped them with tape all the way around, taped their picture and details to the ball of plastic and tape, and then, placed the balls into a size #7 padded envelope.

Rood-Djevlo was on the urgent list in need of a sponsor because he has so many siblings. I decided to include enough for him and his siblings- 5 cars for the 5 boys, 8 lollipops for the 8 children. When I brought his package to the post office, it was actually over 5 pounds. I had to open the padded envelope, cut through the tape and plastic bags, and pull some items out. It was over a week ago when I did this, so I am trying to remember what was pulled out. I believe I pulled out the t-shirt, cereal, and box of candy.




Islande's package contained the items below. The green package you see is the package that Barbara sent to be included with the other items. Islande's package was close to the 5 pound mark. It was $10.85 to ship to Florida & $7.50 to go from Florida to Haiti.

More Help for Haiti

Pamica Jean, age 7
Jolanda Geffrad, age 7
Mikerange Chery, age 7
Mikerange Joseph, age 7

Very Great News!!! Several of the Haitan children shown last night now have sponsors!!! I know these girls will be taken quickly as well. Just remember that these children are very young, therefore, you probably will not get letters until they are older. The illiteracy rate in Haiti is very high. It is possible that the parents of these children can not read or write. If you send a letter, they children will get it. If they can't yet read, it will be read to them. It is possible that they might color a picture or something, but it is probably be to gently prompt them about how much it would mean to you to get a picture from them (plus, send some paper, crayons, etc).

The main thing is that because of you, these children will be able to get an education!

Now, for an update on the children that were posted yesterday:

Barbara took Islande Demesva

Sara S took Rose-Guerlande Decimus

Sara S took Djerlinx Gomez

Stephanie took Rose-Mirlene Volmar

If you would like to sponsor one of these children, please send an e-mail to jamie@hishandsforhaiti.org Put the child's name in the subject line and give your name, address, and state your intention to sponsor child "x"

Coming up next- the little men of the group!
