Starthrower Foundation :: Opening the Box
March 14, 2006 :: The most-welcome shipment from 'Mme Cindy' and friends arrives from Pennsylvania. Here are the photos (developed in Haiti), courtesy of Jen, of Rayjon, in Sarnia, Ontario, who brought them back from Cap-Haitien. Our heartfelt thanks, Jen!
On behalf of the youth in Haiti, a big Thank You to everyone who donated to Cindy's shipment, and saw that it reached its destination safely.
