Our summer sponsors meeting on Thursday, August 12th was a success. At this meeting, we shared the exciting opportunity KHNK had to partner with an organization focused on another country. Through a personal connection, KHNK collaborated with a group at New Hope Fellowship Church collecting donations to send to Haiti. Relief efforts for victims of the devastating earthquake that hit Haiti in January are still going strong, and we are proud that KHNK could contribute. Our sponsor volunteers organized surplus materials from our generous Christmas donations, putting together boxes of soap, toiletries, first-aid materials, and clothing. On Saturday, we dropped off the boxes of materials, which will soon leave for Haiti.Kids Helping Needy Kids is glad to work with other similar-minded organizations working to relieve suffering around the world. Although we were unable to send our all our surplus items to Ethiopia, we found a worthy cause to support with these donations. If you have ideas or know of any organizations (international or local) that could benefit from our surplus items, don't hesitate to let us know! Send us an e-mail at kidshelpingneedykids@yahoo.com. Another big thanks to all the volunteers who came out on August 12th to help us assemble the donations!
