Haiti Awareness Project

Girl Scouts Heart of the South's AmeriCorps volunteers will be coordinating a project to collect supplies for the Haiti earthquake victims. They are tying the Haiti Awareness Project with the February 22nd "World Thinking Day".

The theme for this year’s Thinking Day is “together we can end extreme poverty and hunger,” and this project is a great lesson for girls on how they can really help those who have extreme poverty and hunger.

The items we are asking for are:

• Toothbrushesb & toothpaste
  
• Coloring books & crayons
  
• Stuffed animals
• Tents
• Blankets
• Water bottles (collapsible preferred)
  
• Soap
• Washcloths
  
• Band-aids
  
• Gauze pads
  
• Triple antibiotic ointment
• First-aid wrappings.

Please seal all containers and label contents and include your 5-digit troop # and area and take these items to your local Girl Scout Regional Service Center.
