Middle and high school students spent the month of December collecting clothes for children in Haiti.

The students collaborated with the Rotary Club of Dartmouth and the New Hampshire-based nonprofit, Love in Motion, to collect donated clothing. Middle school students alone collected 32 bags of clothes, while their high school counterparts gathered 11 boxes of donations for both children and young adults.

The donations will support children who have endured the stressors related to recent and past storms in Haiti, said the Rotary Club's Terri Hamm in an email. Hamm organized the project to underscore the importance of community service and the benefit of working together in service to others.

Nonprofit director Paul Deasy picked up collected the donations on December 15, and will take over the task of sending the clothing to Haiti, said Hamm.
