Promise Packs

When bad things happen, you want to do something. I want to do something. Sometimes, I just don't know what to do. That's why I'm thankful for the brave and tender-hearted people at World Vision. They know this and understand this about people.

After the catastrophic earthquake hit Haiti, monetary resources were and are needed. World Vision needs this money in order to provide life-saving supplies and skills through their trained people to the people there. They also know that people, in addition to providing much needed money, might want a hands-on way to help people. That's where Promise Packs come in.

Promise Packs are backpacks filled with basic hygiene supplies and school supplies that are distributed to children who might not have a chance to have access to things like these without an organization like World Vision. And you, partnering with WV to assemble and provide them.

They're inviting churches and organizations right now to assemble Promise Packs for Haitian children. Because in situations like this, children are devastatingly affected and this is no exception. These are just one way that we can work together to keep children healthy.

I want to do one of the Promise Pack events. In my mind, I'm imaging setting it up in the middle of our town on our "town green" and inviting people all across the community to come together and put together backpacks for kids they may never meet, but are now inextricably linked to through projects like this. Now, that I've dreamt it, let's try and make it happen, right? Right.
