Hygeine Kits!

Well, things are getting pretty busy here at PLU's campus - spring semester started yesterday, and I speak for myself at least when I say it's going to be suuuuuuuuuper busy! But more importantly, things are also starting to really get rolling for the Haiti trip! WOOOOO!

Our team has been preparing ourselves in prayer these past couple weeks, asking God to hone our hearts and focus towards Haiti - hard to believe the trip is only two months away! Now that we've got our basic project plans solidified (as Dan detailed in the last post), we can get to figuring out the details, and one of the first things we're getting started with is the hygiene kits. We'll be taking a portion of our budget and putting those together ourselves and bringing them over to Haiti with us. 

But wait! Those of you looking for an easy way to get involved in the effort alongside us, you can help us out immensely by contributing supplies towards these kits. The more kits we can put together, the more people we can give access to these essential hygiene tools in order to stop the spread of disease.

Here's a list of the items we're collecting for each kit:

1. Wash Cloth
2. Hand Towel
3. Shampoo bottle
4. Anti-bacterial Soap bottle
5. Toothbrush
6. Toothpaste tube
7. Comb
8. Neosporin tube
9. Nail Clipper
10. Nail File

11. Bandaids

For those of you who are somewhat near Tacoma, you can drop the items off with one of us or at PSCC (services 8:30, 10, and 11:35 AM on Sundays). Otherwise, if you can't get supplies to us but still want to help with the hygiene kits specifically, you can use the online form on the blog's main page and specify that your donation is to go towards the hygiene kits in the comments section. Just so you know, that part doesn't appear until the third page of the form, and this is what the it looks like:

There's a lot more going on in our prep work right now in addition to this. For instance, we're going to be spending time soon learning how to lead worship so that we can get the most out of the seminar we're leading - I'm excited for that! But I just wanted to highlight the hygiene kit thing so as to give a concrete example of exactly what we're doing this April!

Thanks for all your prayers and support so far! We've had some amazing instances of God providing financial support for our team - just in case we needed any more proof that God moves in mysterious ways!

Thanks for reading! 

In Christ,
