Please consider donating any sports bags, backpacks, fanny packs, totes, luggage, or canvas bags (perhaps that you may have gotten at a conference) to a great cause! 

I am the coordinator of the Advantage Program, a rehabilitation assistance program for persons with physically disabling conditions. The program is located in Les Cayes, Haiti. We have a women's self-help sewing/training program and a school sponsorship program (for kids with disabilities to attend elementary school at St. Vincent's Rehabilitation School in Port-au-Prince). The kids and young women really need bags, totes, fanny packs and luggage as they travel from their country huts in the mountains to our center(s). You can leave your donation in the Department of Physical Therapy in Davenport Hall (Room 302). 

I am with Lumiere Medical Ministries. We have a direct shipping mechanism to our mission in Haiti. I plan to make the next shipment in mid-January. Please contact me for more information, if interested (June Hanks: 425-5304). You can check out the website at www.lovetheycanfeel.org . Click on "Advantage Program" and "more information".

Thanks for your consideration!
