ALERT: ADDED MORE DAYS (new hours posted below) TO COLLECT DONATIONS --
Items greatly needed for New Life Children's Home in Port-au-Prince!
Container's arrival postponed til next Thursday so can collect longer BUT MUST SHIP THEN. Delayed to try to reach goals, but an appointment for surgery for Bob also is a matter of concern (noted below).
This ALL-CALL necessary because Sports Build Coalition (SBC) only reached one-fourth of our goal...
HAS BEEN A LOT HARDER THAN WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE TO COLLECT USED ITEMS...
Our outreach with Sports Build Coalition will always be to the weakest links of the US and the world.
Right now, the weakest neighbor we have continues to be Haiti...not the Haitians here, but there.
AND NEEDING URGENT HELP, VERY EARLY IN THE LIFE OF SBC. So we are working overtime...
Please consider the orphanage's plight since the earthquake, and the need for fun and smiles to uplift them.
F Y I : New Life Christian Home, with 120 orphans, follows sustainable practices: has many trees, huge garden, mangoes, bananas on five acres. Safe. Has tilapia tanks, teens raise rabbits to sell and chickens for eggs; strong emphasis on vocational and post-secondary education. Sets a standard! Director Miriam also helps smaller orphanages to improve. See attachments (housing, kids)
