Dear Haitian children,
I am a 13-year-old girl living in Idaho, USA. When I heard about the earthquake I was shocked, so shocked I couldn’t react at first. I know it is hard for you and everyone else in Haiti. I am currently babysitting to raise money. Once I have a reasonable amount I will send it to you. My sister also asked for money for Haiti instead of presents for her birthday and it will be sent to you soon. Although money will help you I wanted to send you something else… Hope. I know your country will be fixed up and many people want to help you. My teacher for example is really close to Haiti and is part of an organization called Honor and Respect Foundation. He and another teacher of mine went down to Haiti to teach teachers better strategies at a public school in Port a Prince. All of my classmates want to help out too.
I wanted to tell you that I write poetry. I wanted to write you a poem. Maybe one day you will see it. Maybe one day I will go to Haiti to visit you. Perhaps if I go I could write poetry with you. Many people care about you and want to help. I wish I was there right now to help you, but I am not, so I want you to know that you have my heart and my hope.

Dear Haiti,
I am very sorry about your losses this year. At my school, we are doing our best to raise money to go to the Honor and Respect foundation to help in rebuilding Haiti. At my school, we have a sister school in Port au Prince that we do our best to support. In the most recent fundraiser we had, we gave away homemade chili to people on the street and asked for donations to go to Haiti. Soon we will be having an art auction to raise money to send to help you guys. I wish there was more I could do to help, but for now I am helping and organizing fundraisers to help as much as I can. I admire all the people of Haiti for staying strong and keeping your heads up.
Love,
Izzy C. (soccer #25)

Dear People of Haiti,
Hi, my name is Claire and I live in Sun Valley, Idaho. I am deeply sorry for the massive earthquake you have encountered and the pain it has caused. I have been thinking of the earthquake often and I know I am not alone. Our school, our town, and our country have been thinking of you. The earthquake has brought the world together to help Haiti’s people. My school and 7th grade class have been raising money for Haiti by having bake sales, art auctions, dances, and selling chili. We have raised a lot of money in the last four years for Haiti. The money goes to help the children eat free meals and get an education. I hope the money we are sending will help rebuild your community. Never give up and keep fighting.
Sending lots of love,
Claire

Dear Haiti,
My name is Josie and I go to a school that has a sister school in Haiti in Port Au Prince. After the earthquake we have been making major donations to Haiti. I am really sorry that you are suffering from the terrible earthquake. We have tried to do everything we can to help you. We had a dance, many bake sales, competitions, and many other events to raise money to help you. Soon we will be selling art we have made. My friend and I have even made a video and posted it on You Tube to help donations. I admire that you have kept a smile on your face through all these hard times. I wish i could do more to help and could heal all of your problems but for now i am fighting for you in every way i can.

I focues a lot on China invading Tibet and the intolerence there and thats why I have the buhhda head. I hope you liked my project. Thanks!!!!! :)

Dear Haiti,
I have heard about what happened with the earthquake. I live in Sun Valley, Idaho and our school is raising a lot of money for your country and its recovery. We have been raising money through gallery walks, art auctions, dances, lemonade stands, selling chili and hot cocoa, and posting videos to promote donations to you. I hope to be able to donate more money myself, but I need to raise that money. I hope that you all can recover quickly and that you all get better soon.
Sincerely,
Willis

Dear Haiti,
I am so very sorry about the earthquake and am suprised how strong you are. I will do anything to help the cause. My name is Anna. I am twelve years and love to help out. My school does many fundraisers for you and I participate willingly and try as hard as I can, along with the rest of my class. I have been following the news and that always gives me a new drive to work harder on the foundraisers. We have a new project coming up. We are selling our project artwork and donating it to you. I really want to do well, not because of the grade but because of the fact that it will help you. I also have gotten some other people to help out too. I feel for you and want to do my best , like the rest of my class. I bet the earthquake has made you all stronger . I am very excited for the project and am ready to give it my all. Not just my class, but the whole middle school is helping. I can't imagine how hard this is for you, but we care, so always remember you are not alone.
With Love,
Anna

Dear Haiti,
I am Alexandra from Idaho in America. It hurts me to know what you have gone through, and I know that no child should have to face what you've experienced. I am 12, and I know that I would probably not be able to survive to horrible things that have happened to you. My class, and all of America are trying hard to help your country to it's feet, and I hope our efforts are paying off. It may take a while, but I am sure that soon life in Haiti will be back to normal, no matter how hard the struggle to get there is. You are strong, and if anyone can make it, it will be you. Though you may not see it yet, I am sure that when this is all over with, the rest of your life will be a happy one.
Best wishes,
Alexandra :-)

Dear Haiti,
I am 12 years old and I live in Idaho. For several years now, our school has had a sister school in Jake, Haiti. We have heard word that the school has been devastaded. Over the years, we have worked to raise money to send to Haiti through the Honor and Respect Foundation. After the earthquake, we have had several fundraisers so that we can give as much help as possible to people in Haiti. We are currently working on a project where each student will create a piece of artwork relating to intolerance throughout the years. We will sell the projects and give the money to Haiti. I hope that all of you know that we are doing our best to help you out. Please don't forget that we care.

Dear Haiti,
This year I decided to join an enrichment to help Haiti. We had a dance and a bake sale with all the profits going to Haiti. Our enrichment group ended up raising just over $700. I have kept reaserching to find out more about the earthquake and what I can do to help. Our school has a sister school in Haiti so we have been doing a bunch of projects and bake sales to raise money. I feel sorry for everyone that has lost loved ones and hope that the fundraisers are helping.

Jack

Dear Haiti,
I have been researching and learning about Haiti's history for the last couple of weeks. I have been trying to learn about the difficulties Haiti has faced, how they have affected Haiti, and how other countries might be able to help and prevent these difficulties. I am so sorry that this happened to your country. With the research and information that I have gathered about your country, I will be making an art project. When I finish, I am planning on selling it. All the money that is made from the sale will go to a public school in Port-Au-Prince. This school will help educate your children so that they can become doctors, mechanics, teachers, etc. I hope that your country will eventually be in a better place than it was before that horrible earthquake hit in January.
Sincerely,
Maddie

I feel very bad and I really want to help so I am trying to get enough money so I can fly down to Haiti and help you guys out. I want you to know there are a lot of people who care.
Sincerely,
Sara
