Thank you!! I think that the humanitarian service project blog is a wonderful idea.
I would be interested in what we could do to help with what recently occurred in Myanmar.
Lds.org lists what the survivors need the most at this moment.
Also the best thing suggested on the website is to call or e-mail the Latter-Day Saint Humanitarian Center, to see if there are changes in what is needed the most at the moment.
Guidelines can be found on lds.org or provident living: http://www.lds.org/ldsfoundation/welfare/donationshelp/0,16845,1335-1-9,00.html

Come and Share
We have recently completed a "Newborn Kit" project in my church group - and we learned a great deal. It was one of the most rewarding experiences I have had, bar none. I want to share everything that we learned, and make it easier for those of you starting up projects in your own area.
I know that needs in our world are great. These service projects are simple, meant to meet the most basic needs of our sisters and their families around the world. The LDS church does a great deal to help where help is needed. It fills my heart with joy to think of the babies that will be going home clothed, with diapers and wrapped in a blanket rather than wrapped someone's shirt or a piece of newspaper because of the small sacrifices we made here.
I will put permanent links on the sidebar to documents describing the projects, and in the coming months, I will be working out ways to organize this site so that it is easy to find the information you need. I have some ideas and I hope it works - until then, let me know if you'd like to help, or have information to contribute. My email is on the side.
