<\/strong><\/span>At our Cultural Fair on Saturday, 1\/23, we will be collecting items to be donated to Presbyterian Disaster Assistance<\/a>.\u00a0 They collect and distribute items to people recovering from disasters, including the most recent devastating earthquake in Haiti.\u00a0 My goal is to put together at least 25 Hygiene Kits from our cluster.\u00a0 The necessary items are listed below.\u00a0 You may bring one item, multiples of the same thing, packages that I can split up like bars of soap or Band-aids or a complete kit.\u00a0 Anything you can bring will help.<\/strong> I will purchase any items needed to complete the kits and drop them off.<\/p>\n

\"helping-hands\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This project is something that you could involve the kids with. Many of them have been hearing about the earthquake at school.\u00a0 You can discuss what earthquakes are and how people need help afterward.\u00a0 They can help find the items at the store to feel like they are doing something to make a difference.<\/p>\n

This would be a great activity to work on with them on Monday, when they are out of school.\u00a0 There has been a campaign in recent years, for people to look at the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday as a Day of Service<\/a> to honor his legacy, rather than just a day off of work or school.<\/p>\n

\n

Hygiene Kit (previously Health Kit) <\/strong><\/p>\n

1 \u2014 hand towel (approximately 16″ x 28″, no fingertip or bath towels)
\n1 \u2014 washcloth
\n1 \u2014 wide-tooth comb
\n1 \u2014 nail clipper (no metal files or emery boards)
\n1 \u2014 bar of soap (bath size in wrapper)
\n1 \u2014 toothbrush (in original packaging)
\n6 \u2014 Band-Aids\u00ae or other adhesive bandage strips<\/div>\n
Please do not add toothpaste to the Hygiene Kit. Toothpaste which has an extended expiration date will be added to Hygiene Kit shipments just prior to shipment. Seal all items in a one-gallon plastic bag with a zipper closure.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
