We have all been wondering what will happen if it becomes unsafe to travel to Haiti. The parent visits with 100 pounds each of food for the children could not travel. The answer is to stalk the pantry with the formula and essentials to carry the kids through. The question is how to get extra when we are already taking what is needed. Here is the answer! A gift of free shipping.
We have been offered the most generous opportunity from the Soles United program. Soles United is the first-of-its-kind recycled footwear donation program. When people give their worn-out crocstm shoes to be recycled, they are turned into new shoes and donated to people in need around the world. http://www.solesunited.com/
Their next stop…YOU GUESSED IT…Haiti…where they will be delivering 10,000 pairs of shoes that will be distributed throughout Haiti by Melky Jean to YéleHaiti, Wyclef's foundation. http://www.yele.org/
Soles United contacted the airlines and confirmed with C4C that they have room for 2500 pounds of food to be sent to our children at the creche on this trip. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT! What a great opportunity!
