PP delivered two buckets of relief items
On Friday, February 12, Alla, Ivan, Jungwon, Jina, and Jonathan, representing Purposeful Penny, have been to a Costco shopping 4 Haiti. We bought soap, washcloths, hand towels, toothpaste and toothbrushes. We filled in two buckets with relief items for Haiti and delivered them to the William Pitt Union.
I appreciate PP members who joined today's shopping trip 4 Haiti and people who could not make the trip but supported with their full warm heart. Especially, Alla, without her support and commitment, today's trip itself might not have been fulfilled.
I hope relief items will be delivered well to people who are suffering in Haiti.

Shop @ Costco 4 Haiti
Dear Purposeful Penny Members,
Here is an avenue we can help Haiti with a coordinated efforts with
SORC at the University of Pittsburgh, Brother's Brother Foundation and
CostCo Store. Because of the limits of resources and concentration on
our mission, Purposeful Penny have not been able to involve and engage
in the Haiti relief effort. However, using this kind of coordinated
initiative can relieve those concerns and remove those limitations. Me
and other office bearer members discussed joining this relief
initiative and agreed that this is not a mission drift of Purposeful
Penny and it will contribute to increasing PP's solidarity in our
humanitarian efforts.
PP is planning to fill out one (or more, depending on the number of
people join) bucket together by the name of Purposeful Penny for
helping Haiti relief. This will enhance the solidarity of our group
for the endeavors for humanitarian initiative. Please let me know if
you are willing and available to join this relief shopping trip. Don't forget to register online in advance. Now there are not many seats left. Please register online and reply to me if you are interested in joining this trip.
Best regards,
Jonathan
President of Purposeful Penny
