Our Support in Haiti
We donated a portion of the games we collected to the non-profit House of New Vision and Hope. This non-profit works towards improving the lives of disadvantaged children in rural regions in Haiti. The games we donated were chess, checkers, and card games, which don't require English proficiency to learn, making it easier for children to enjoy!
