What we are planing for Operation Haiti is that we are going to send clothes, water, blankets and possibly money. Right now we are doing the research of where to find the things on sale and also we are going to bring clothes from home.  We will bring boxes to put the things and some of the students will be organizing what we bring. Also, we are using our Project Give Calendars and To do list – to track time and responsibilities.  A student named Ryhon has the responsibility of asking his friend who works for an organization and can help ship the stuff to Haiti for FREE. Our next step is to try and set deadlines and keep everyone informed – our parents, our school and neighborhoods so that everyone can help us.

Sincerely,
Ryhon Mack and Mercedes Speck representing our 8th grade class – Operation Haiti Project Give.
