Sending Hope Cards to Haiti

Have you spent the last two weeks pining to do something for Haiti?

Have you wondered how to help with limited funds?

Please see this newsletter below from the Volunteer USA Foundation:
(Our kids can send cards to Haitian kids in hospitals and shelters!!!)


And, they are also offering a free lesson plan for teaching elementary school students about the crisis and how to help!
(I will DEFINITELY be adding this to my homeschool lesson plans for tomorrow!!)



HOPE FOR HAITI... TEACHABLE MOMENTS FOR PARENTS & CHILDREN

We’ve launched a project so your kids can show their compassion for affected families. Simply send handmade cards and letters to Volunteer USA Foundation…pictures inspired by the heart “are worth a thousand words.” We'll make sure we get your thoughtful messages get to the people of Haiti through outreach at hospitals, shelters, children and family organizations, schools and non-profit groups.

We’ll also be offering elementary schools a free lesson plan to help teach students that while disasters do occur, families and communities can do their best to prepare and recover. The example in Haiti is a reminder that we must educate our children about the value of disaster planning, so our families are as safe and secure as possible. You can find more information about our disaster recovery efforts at National Disaster Recovery Fund.

Please send cards of hope and compassion to: Volunteer USA Foundation – Cards of Care for Haiti, 5970 SW 1st Lane, Ocala, FL 34474

Happy helping everyone!!!
