busboys & poets helps haiti

Posted on 14. Jan, 2010 by racine in socialite

Be a humanitarian and enjoy a cultural experience at one of DC’s most happening spots, Busboys and Poets located on 14th and V NW. Sunday, January 17, 2010 at 7:00pm join fellow humanitarians that desire to make a difference in the Langston Room of Busboys and learn more about what you can do to help the victims of Tuesday’s devastating earthquake. It has also been rumored that a open mic session will follow the information session, so come one come all.

I also visited the Haitian Embassy Website and they have a great list of ways you can help. A friend of mine is collecting the items listed below and dropping them off at the Embassy to help a set of volunteers create survival kits. If you feel this is an endeavor you want to take on, have a look at the list below and visit the Facebook event page for details.

Drop-off is in DC on Sunday, Jan. 17 from 11am to 4pm.

ITEMS BEING COLLECTED:

Baby formula (dry/powder)

Baby wipes

Baby bottles

Diapers

Baby clothes

Toiletries (shampoo, soap, toothpaste)

Hand sanitizer

Vitamins

First aid kits

Over the counter medicines
