The Eli Project - Diapers for Haiti

We met our little friend Eli, sporting his Spiderman diaper, at the Missionaries of Charity wellness center in Port au Prince, a program we support and where we have been bringing volunteers to work since 2006. He captured all of our hearts with his great spirit and smile, in spite of his malnourished and frail condition. The Eli Project is one way we here at home can help in the care for sick and dying children, by turning outgrown or no-longer-needed T-shirts into handmade diapers (cartoon characters and bright colors especially appreciated).
