Health Kits for Haiti






Pastor Jim Donnan of Livingston Avenue United Methodist Church mentioned Health Kits to be assembled to be sent to areas torn by disaster and specifically Haiti.



This was a great hands on project Teresa and I enjoyed doing with Rachael.



We were told in time of disaster and civil strife, health kits are a godsend to many people housed in temporary shelters and crowded refuges quarters.



Each health kit contains:
1 hand towel
1 wash cloth
1 comb
1 nail file or nail clipper
1 bar of soap (bath size)
1 toothbrush
6 Band-Aids
$1.00 to purchase toothpaste.
(Toothpaste is purchased in bulk to be added to health kits to ensure that the product does not expire before they are sent.)





This was also a great opportunity to teach Rachael organizational skills and she loved helping us help other people so far away. She wanted to visit someday.
