Waka Waka Lights

I recently learned about Waka Waka Lights and wanted to share my info with you.

This video was from their 12-12-12 campaign.  Since then, many of these lights have been delivered to Haiti and over 150 Apparent Project Artisans have received them.

Love this!!!

Shelley helped to pass these lights out to the artisans and posted on Facebook - 

"I just bought mine!!!! Let's help light up Haiti! I can't wait to have a solar light and solar charger for my iPhone and help give the gift of light! After one of our precious artisans twins died of respiratory issues, I really am so excited for them not to have to use kerosene lamps in their tiny houses!" 

This link gives a complete explanation of exactly what the Waka Waka Light does - 

I am thrilled to let you know how you can help!

These lights can be purchased for yourself  HERE  - Click on the button labeled US/Rest of the World.  You can purchase one for yourself and one will be donated to Haiti.  (I may have to order one for the campers in my house)

Or you can just donate funds for the Haiti campaign.  

Here's How: (according to my friend Els and the event she created on Facebook )

 You can attend this event without having to get off your couch :)

We have received many requests from people/friends in the USA about donating money for the WakaWaka Lights for Haiti (without buying one yourself) After communicating with our Dutch foundation Projecthulp Haiti, we are partnering with a great Haiti-loving friend who has a 501 (c) (3) tax-exempt status in the States to receive financial
gifts towards these wonderful lights.

I vow to you that this money will not be used for anything else! You all know me, right?

Projecthulp Haiti helps people mostly in the countryside where there is no electricity, we are not helping those in the tent cities, therefor we are not interfering with the WakaWaka Light distribution done by WakaWaka/UNCHR.

We will post pictures and thank you notes regularly on the Facebook group “Projecthulp Haiti” , in Dutch and English, and on my Facebook page and on the page of this event.

PS. I hope you understand that we can't deliver one lamp to 'your second cousin's old friend in Les Cayes or Cap Haitien'. If you have a special group of people (let's say, the students of the Bible school you are supporting, or all workers of xxxxx orphanage) you want to donate for, that is possible only per box (24 WakaWaka Lights) or multiple of boxes and they need to be picked up in Port-au-Prince.

PS1. We are out of WakaWaka Lights for now, so is the Netherlands and China. We should be receiving lots and lots of them end of January / early February. (We only have WakaWaka Lights shipped if they are paid for)

ANY $20 donation helps purchase one Waka Waka light but ALL donation amounts are welcome
4 people donating $ 5 counts!  So does 1 person donating $ 500!

Your donation of US$ 20 can help a Haitian seamstress to safely extend her working hours into the evening.

 Your donation of US$ 20 can help a Haitian boy or girl study and do homework safely, without fear of the kerosine lamp falling over, inhaling dangerous fumes and it will be much better for his/her eyes.

Safe, solar-led lighting for Haitian families without electricity. No more dangerous kerosine lamps. Will you help us to light up Haiti and the lives of Haitian families?
