Kits to Sustain Everyday Life
University United Methodist Church in San Antonio is gathering Everyday Life Kits to send to Haiti. The following kit is used in places where people do not have ready access to many essential supplies for everyday life. Please follow the directions exactly. Include all items; do not add items that are not on the lists.Extra gifts, though given with the best of intentions, render a kit unusable and must be removed. Note: All items sent must be new!
Health kits provide basic necessities to people who have been forced to leave their homes because of human conflict or natural disaster. Health kits are also used as learning tools in personal hygiene, literacy, nutrition and cooking classes. When people gain the knowledge and materials to maintain personal hygiene, their overall health improves.
