Ok so we have personally had no cash and minimal means of contributing, but I am still a co leader of a Girl Scout troop and my co -leader and I asked if our troop would be willing to set aside a percentage of their cookie sales this year to send to Haiti... the girls said yes! They have agreed to send 5% of their sales to an organization, I am going to be researching today, and am hoping to find something that will make the biggest impact with what they are able to raise. In addition to this they will be collecting items for children in foster care to help make transitions easier. If you see a girl selling cookies, it's not just about the cookies, most of these girls are ready, willing and able to jump in and help out. Feel free to ask them what they are raising money for most have a larger societal goal not just who can sell the most Thin Mints... buy a box, ya never know what it could mean.
