Dear fellow Hanoverians:
Hanover youngster Olivia Rolnik sent along the following
e-mail that reaches across cultures for the greater good. I am cutting
and pasting it in its entirety because it is just so awesome. Olivia, you
are “doin’ Hanover (and your parents) proud!” Congratulations
on your impending milestone, too.
I am organizing a back pack drive
for Haiti as a charity project for my upcoming Bat Mitzvah and was hoping you
could post this on ATOTW.
Since it is the start of the new
school year, a lot of kids may have bought new backpacks. So, if you have
any old backpacks laying around the house, would you consider donating them for
children in Haiti still suffering from the earthquake earlier this year?
We will take the backpacks, fill them with school supplies, and ship them to
Haiti where they will be distributed by Hanover resident Ms. Kerline
Tofuri’s Jou Nouvo and Partners in Development (http://jounouvo.pidonline.org) .
There will be a bin for the backpacks in the Hanover Library until Monday,
September 20. If you have any questions, please contact me at zrolnik@hotmail.com.
Thank you,
Olivia Rolnik
