Haiti is one of the poorest and least developed countries in the world.
On January the 12th, 2010 a massive earthquake struck Haiti, making most of it's capital rubble. Over 250,000 people have been killed and 200,000 lost their homes.
In class we have been discussing about what happened and we also looked at some photos of all the rubble. We have been making pictures to give to the children in Haiti
and that made us think...That we could also give other items to Haiti.
So then we decided that we would like everyone to help.
So we are going to do a project in which we will be donating
toys, clothes, soap, toothpaste, and letters to Haiti in packs for them.
So if you have any of these items bring them to us in Room 12 any morning in Week 1 & 2 to help us out. Also keep an eye out on Karekare pod to see some other fantastic fundraising ideas that will support the people of Haiti.
** A note from Miss S: This is part of Home Learning challenges for Karekare students and they are undertaking this challenge as part of the 'giving' category.

What a great idea Room 12. I hope you can collect lots of things to send to help the people in Haiti.
I really think it was a good idea to put up a sale for the people that have to struggle everyday to live in haiti even though your doing this for your homework you could have started fundraising for a bigger field in our school but instead you all started fundraising for lives instead of energy for people that have a long time before their going to die. So WELL DONE!!
