CAMP L.I.F.E. Mission Project

Assembling kits on Ash Wednesday, February 17, 2010!

"Gift of the Heart" School & Hygiene Kits

Dear Parents & Friends,
The CAMP L.I.F.E. campers will be working on a special mission project tohelp with relief efforts for victims of the earthquake in Haiti!

"Gift of the Heart" school and hygiene kits will be assembled and providedto Presbyterian Disaster Assistance for distribution. Our goal is to provide 20of each type of kit which will cost approximately $500.00.

Please help your camper! s find ways to "earn" funds to purchase items for the
kits.

Here are some suggestions to help them think about the basic needs of all people:

• Food--Asking for loose change from close neighbors, friends and family may help them understand what it is like for the children of Haiti to ask for food & water.

• Clothing--Counting the number of shoes, boots, & slippers within your household and giving a penny, nickel, or dime for each one may help them sense the "bounty" that we each have when it comes to clothing

• Shelter--Some extra chores around their home may help them realize how fortunate they are when some Haitian children don't have a home or any possessions following the earthquakes in their country!

Please make sure your campers share what they are learning especially with those they are asking help from! This may be their first real experience with a mission project. They can make a difference in the world and in their own lives!

Any checks that are provided should be made payable to: Community United Presbyterian Church or CUPC noting "Gift of the Heart". You may provide your gifts to CAMP Registrar, Ann Polito. (Your gifts are tax deductible!!)
