Donating New and Used Curriculum to Katrina Homeschooling Families

From the Website:

"Hurricane Katrina And The Homeschool Community

In the aftermath of hurricane Katrina, many of you are rushing to send help to our friends in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. The recovery and cleanup will be a very long process and there are things that will be needed in the future, but not immediately. This is why I am writing to you today.

Project Noah is a homeschooling ministry that helps homeschooling families in crisis. We only provide curriculum and school supplies to the families that come to us with crisis needs – whether it is because their home has burned, or been flooded, or the primary wage earner has been without work for an extended period of time, or other similar crisis, we try to help. We have been serving the homeschooling community for almost 5 years now and will continue as long as there are families in need.

Although some of you that receive this letter do not homeschool, you can still help. There will be a great need for school supplies, even the workbooks that you see at Sam’s Club and Wal-Mart will help.

The majority of homeschooling families in these states operate through their local churches. The churches, as well as the families, have lost much, including school books and school supplies. Having worked in the arena of these types of crisis for a number of years, I can tell you that these things are not on their minds right now. BUT…when they begin to think about these things, Project Noah wants to be able to have those things ready for them. All the things that we use throughout the course of our homeschooling year, books, calculators, rulers, notebooks, pens, pencils, erasers, teaching tapes, textbooks –these things will be needed, even lunchboxes, crayons, markers, and on and on and on.

If you would like to help us help these families in this unique nitch of need, we would be honored."
