————————————————————————<\/p>\n

We’re getting ready for the 2011 Haiti Youth Retreat.\u00a0 This year’s theme will be “War & Peace.”\u00a0 If that sounds a lot like last year’s theme, that’s because it IS last year’s theme.\u00a0 I had made plans to go last year, but the earthquake hit and my flight was cancelled.\u00a0\u00a0 So I’m trying again this year!\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you want to help provide some of the supplies needed, the list is below.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Some of the items could easily be purchased by multiple people.\u00a0 i.e.\u00a0 buy 1 bible, 5 pairs sunglasses, etc. and someone else\u00a0could also buy a bible, sunglasses, etc.\u00a0 If you can’t help by providing materials, you can ALL help by praying.\u00a0 Also, if you would be interested in going with me (this time or some other time), let me know.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Needs List<\/strong><\/p>\n

2,000 Q-tips\u00a0<\/span> – Got em.\u00a0 Thanks Tammy!
