Backpacks for Haiti!

GDE Haiti is in need of full backpacks to take to the children in Massey in August.  We currently have 40 children in our program and hope to take down 60 filled backpacks!  Any backpacks over and above the number of children in the program will be given to other school children in the area to give them a head-start on their school year.  Want to get involved?  Here's more details!

Please pack a NEW solid blue or solid black backpack with the following supplies:

• 12 blue pens
• 12 regular #2 pencils
• Small pencil sharpener
• 3 normal erasers
• Basic Calculator OR pack of basic-colored crayons
• Pack of girls OR boys underwear
• Pack of white crew socks   

To arrange to drop off a filled backpack or have it picked up, please contact Christy Freemyer at christyfreemyer@graindespoirhaiti.com.

GDE Haiti, Inc.

We realize that Grain d'Espoir pour Haiti is lengthy, and often difficult to pronounce because, let's face it:  most of us don't speak French!  When we first created this name, we loved that it was accessible to the people we serve in Haiti.  Honestly, we didn't consider much whether or not it was accessible to those who would be supporting Grain d'Espoir in America.  So, in an effort to make our name more easily discussible, we will now be doing business in the USA as GDE Haiti, Inc.  Donation checks can me made out to this name.  For now, our website and emails will remain the same as we work on transferring them over to GDE Haiti.  We hope this will be a welcome change and will alleviate the stumbling of words associated with Grain d'Espoir pour Haiti.
