Convoy of Hope

A lot of people are wanting to help out with Haiti. However, a lot of people have fears that their time, resources, and money will not be used in the right ways. I can understand this fear. When you cannot see, first hand, where your gift(s) are going, it's hard to trust it.

That being said, you should check this out. It's a blog that gives the stories of missionaries, non-for-profits, etc. that already have roots in Haiti and that you can trust.

Kendahl and I decided to pick one of these organizations this weekend and invite some students along to help out in an area that needs it more than we can even understand. After some research we chose Convoy of Hope. You can check them out here.

You can help out with the needs of the Haitian people through Convoy of Hope in two ways. You can either give money, or you can make a hygiene kit that will be used at many of the shelters Convoy of Hope is setting up in the earthquake area. We decided to make some hygiene kits.

Long story short-this is what it looks like when 5 students come together and give of both their time and of their money (their own money)! That's 18 hygiene kits! What's in each kit? 2 hand towels, 2 bars of soap, a toothbrush, toothpaste, 2 combs, shampoo, and $3 for shipping. These are going to go a long, long way.
