Effort Number 2!

I have not posted in some time, but this collection effort has its own momentum and the plans for another collection are evolving.

Our initial supplies collected went to the Heart to Heart Haiti group and delivering things to their warehouse in Abbotsford was impressive - they have so much food that is going to Haiti. So far they have sent two containers and our collections should go out soon with other donations from other groups and individuals, including a large donation of food and water from Kodak in Burnaby.

The group that I am currently working with is Lycee de Jeunes Filles in Jérémie Haiti (girls high school) via a Vancouver school teacher. This teacher will be coordinating collection efforts for a large range of requested goods. We have a commitment from Kodak to contribute First Aid supplies and from our own collections, we have two large bins of toiletries kits as well as a donation from a Vancouver dentist of 200 toothbrushes and toothpaste. The school children in Vancouver will be collecting everything ranging from school supplies, to furniture, as well as basic survival supplies.

If you would like to contribute a monetary or material goods donation please e-mail me at:

Any money collected will go towards shipping costs or purchasing supplies - there are no overhead or administrative costs as we are 100% volunteer operated.
