Dear EWA Parents,

       As most of you already know, the recent earthquake in Haiti has been devastating.  The countless stories of the people there have touched many lives, including ours.   As students at East Wake Academy, we would like to collect items to be included in health relief kits for the people who live there.  

*A Health Kit contains the following specific items:
1 hand towel (15” x 25” up to 17” x 27”)
1 wash cloth
1 comb (large and sturdy, not pocket-sized)
1 nail file or fingernail clippers (no emery boards or toenail clippers)
1 bath-size bar of soap (3 oz and up)
1 toothbrush (single brush only in original wrapper; no child-sized brushes)
1 large tube of toothpaste
6 adhesive plastic strip sterile bandages

All items should be placed inside a sealed one-gallon plastic bag. No money, notes, religious or political literature, or other items should be placed in the kits.

Any items as listed above would be appreciated. We will be collecting the items from now until next Tuesday January 26, 2010. The kits will be assembled after school in the media center on Wednesday January 27, 2010. Items can be brought to your homeroom teacher. Please join us in lending our support to a country who needs everyone’s help in their time of need.

Elementary Students – Please turn in your donations to your homeroom teacher

MS and HS Students – Donation collection boxes are located in your house office

Sincerely,
Perry and Gray Barnhill
