One of the tent cities that has sprung up around Port-au Prince, Haiti after the earthquake.
So everyone knows the deal in Haiti. Devastation. Destruction. DISASTER. Habitat for Humanity International is responding to this disaster and addressing shelter solutions, including the delivery of shelter kits. These kits are intended to help families construct or repair temporary shelters and provide a safer and cleaner environment to live in as we begin to rebuild Haiti.
If you are in the Atlanta area, and would like to DIRECTLY help Haiti, we need your help! This week, we are assembling over 8,000 shelter kits to be shipped to Port-au Prince, Haiti. Whirlpool is graciously assisting us by providing enormous warehouse space for the preparation and assembly of the kits.
We’ll be assembling them Monday through Thursday of this week and really need additional volunteers for Monday and Thursday. You can sign-up for half day or full day shifts between 9 am and 5 pm. Sign-up online with Hands On Atlanta.
If you aren’t in the area, but would still like to help, please pass this information along to anyone you know near Atlanta that may want to volunteer. Also, check out our website for other ways you can help.
