Hearts for Haiti

the problem:
Haiti is a small country/island in the Western Hemisphere. They have a lot of natural disasters. Our project was to collect various supplies (school supplies, medical supplies, etc.) and then those supplies were sent to agencies in Haiti (mainly in the city of Gonaives which was heavily hit by hurricanes).

It gave the chance to help other people. These are people in great need and sending them necessary supplies gave me a feeling of worth, like I accomplished something.
