The collection donates $1.50 for each purchase to help fund housing for homeless children in Haiti, which becomes a US-territory in July 09. Each consumer purchase includes a post-paid donation box-- the child who receives something NEW is then encouraged to donate (with their parents help) something to a child at the children's orphanage who has less (a book, a toothbrush, toy, etc). IN THE POST-PAID RECYCLED BOX. We hope to build a bridge between children in the first world and lesser-blessed children in third world countries. |
