High School students prepare meals for Haiti
Hundreds of high school students spent Saturday morning packing 20,000 meals that will be shipped to Haiti.
300 students from West Broward High School participated.
The brainchild of the event is Anabelle Juin, a junior at West Broward. Juin told Local 10's Johanna Gomez that she wanted to start a club that showed that "Teenagers were doing something."
Juin started the club, Do Something, and raised $5,000.00 by selling t-shirts and bracelets.
The club works alongside the organization Feeding Children Everywhere, which mobilizes people in the United States to make a difference around the world.
Kile Riggs of Feeding Children Everywhere gave the students the resources to raise funds.
"It only cost a quarter to package a meal and send it around the world," said Riggs.
The meal bags consist of rice, lentil beans, dehydrated vegetables, and sea salt.
Each meal bags will feed a family of six in Haiti.
