CAI Sending Boxes of Hope
The country of Haiti was hit by a devastating earthquake this week. Clearwater Academy is gathering needed items to ship to Haiti. The earthquake left the majority of the country with nothing. Their homes are completely gone as well as their businesses. They need our help.
Clearwater Academy has partnered with Bless the Children, which is a humanitarian non-profit organization. They have secured a forty foot sea container to ship the items in.
We are asking that individuals fill up a banana box (which can be collected from your local grocery store produce department or picked-up from the school) with the below supplies. We are calling these our Boxes of Hope.
Please write out on two index cards the contents of the box. Tape one index card to the box and drop off the other to reception with an envelope with $5 in it. The $5 helps to cover the cost of shipping.
This is an international shipment and it is very important to have the inventory of the container logged. In addition, the cost to ship a container is approximately $4,000. It is our hope that every student of CAI can contribute one box.
Please note clothes are not being accepted at this time.
Below are two lists of needed items.
