Small idea = BIG DIFFERENCE !

I spearheaded a Haiti relief drive in our local elementary school. I have been working with the kids for months now on various projects. We tackled very important issues from adoption, making shoeboxes filled with gifts for Christmas for the needy, feeding the poor, sending money for clean water in India , sending money to China for the Smile Train and now Haiti Relief. I was hoping to inspire and teach them , but at the end of these few months...they taught me something...YOUTH POWER !

I made a DVD for them to watch

we put it on the overhead projection..and I hit the classrooms. I asked for them to bring in anything that they possibly can.

Well, I was amazed...they collected cases and buckets full of items

And who said kids can't make a difference..

I sat at the Church and made an inventory list and separated everything

Just when I thought I was done..I would come across another donated box

we then took it to Missionary Flight Service. In their hanger we had volunteers packing up everything and labeling everything

volunteers moved the items into the donated planes

one by one, they were loaded

And the hanger was ready for the next flight

planes take off , one by one

volunteers go to Haiti to help the people

I can't imagine

bags are distributed to the kids. Each person got a bag with toothpaste, toothbrush, childrens vitamin and advil

their kids are extremely thankful

Kids touching lives

Youth Power....
