Jerseys Arrive in Haiti
Thanks to Jay Jordan for arranging and collecting the jerseys for the children of Haiti. The Tribune-Georgian featured an article and these photos in the Wednesday, June 9th edition. The Haiti Empowerment Project from Ohio State University is working to provide materials, resources and training to organize and support the community schools. As a part of the relief efforts, the staff is working to create a soccer league for the children of the community. The gift of soccer jerseys from the children of Camden are a special gift for the children of Haiti. The 200 soccer jerseys were given to five community schools in the tent cities around Croix-Des-Bouquets, Haiti. The Croix-Des-Bouquets area was devastated by the recent earthquakes.
Jay has done an outstanding job with this service project and we thank him for including the Camden Soccer Club. The children of our community have enjoyed going into their closets to look for jerseys to donate.
Check back for more details, Jay may have another service project in the works shortly.
