Shoe Bags 2011

Just what are these?  We call them "Shoebags".  Filled with school supplies and simple hygiene items for children in Haiti.  Last year we kicked this off for a test run and run it did.  A wooden box on a pallet filled with donated items reached out to quite a number of children.  So the visionary that shared this last year asked are we going to do it again?  Yup, it's off and running, with groups from multiple states joining in.  The first shipment made it here last week and our ship date to Haiti is not even until the end of May!  So folks have been asking about it and this past weekend churches in at least two states shared with their respective fellowships.  If you are interested there are many different parts to this whole process, so a referral to a couple of web sites is appropriate.  www.shoebags4haiti.info or www.hopeforhaiti.ws should answer most questions or call or email the noted information at each website.  Even a new slideshow clip of last years project is available right here by following the video link on the left side of the main page.
