Our donated promotional backpacks are helping children in Haiti go to school
We received this email from Hannah, the Haiti coordinator at The Children’s Place. She goes back and forth at least once a month to Haiti and takes all the great things, including money, that are donated.
I just wanted to send you a few pictures from my last trip of handing out the backpacks you donated. Everyone was just thrilled! It was so much fun to go around and hand them out. All of the parents asked me to send their thanks as well. Mesi anpil, as they would say in Creole! Enjoy the photos.
The Children’s Place Association is a safe haven for children and families whose lives have been devastated by disease and poverty. Since 1991, the agency has reached out to HIV/AIDS-affected children and families through services such as: residential care with 24-hour nursing, specialized day care, summer camp, mental health counseling and foster care/adoption. None of these services would be possible without the generous support of our many valued friends and donors in the community.

It is really great to see that donations as small as a backpack can make such a difference in a child’s life. Heart felt images and you can see just for that moment in time that nothing else really doesn’t matter the daily issues that they may have just melted away awesome post guys, Cheers.
