I received this opportunity today. Your family may be interested, so I thought I would place it on our blog:I would like to extend an invitation to all students, family and
friends to participate in a project I have been coordinating to raise
funds, package, and ship nutritional meals to support child nutrition
programs in the impoverished nation of Haiti. This long fundraising
effort will culminate in "Bagging Day" where we actually will be
preparing the meals. The meals consist of a dry soup mix type food
that was designed by Kids Against Hunger with help from multiple
cereal companies to provide 75% of a child's daily nutritional
requirements in one meal. I have had the opportunity to venture to
Haiti twice and see this program work first hand throughout my
medical school career. IT WORKS!!
So I invite you to join us as we will need HUNDREDS of volunteers to
make this effort a success on May 16 and 17th. The actual bagging
will take place at Apex in Kettering and the food will be shipped
from there directly to Haiti. By registering you will sign up to work
a 2 hour bagging shift where we will mix the materials and package
them. We ask that you get sponosored to help us cover the high cost
of shipping the food to Haiti (recommended $20 minimum). You can
register by emailing the requested information to
feedhaitiproject@gmail.com. We ask that you register by May 7th.
Thanks in advance for your help and we look forward to seeing you as
we work to promote good nutritional health to the children of Haiti.
If you would like any further information feel free to contact me at
any time. Feel free to involve your friends and family!
Thanks again and good luck to everyone as we close out the school year!
