The Amazing Women of Haiti
One of the amazing women I met during my trip to Haiti was Paula Coles. Paula would see the scraps of unused fabric being thrown out of the t-shirt factories, and she decided to use these scraps to create gorgeous products!! Paula founded Recycle/Love as a mission to sell these products and raise money to provide education for thousands of underprivileged children in Haiti. I bought a beautiful rug and a purse and a portion of the sales from every item Paula sells goes towards a child’s education. Paula is just one of the many amazing women in Haiti, who despite the circumstances has made the most of every opportunity, and through her dedication, creativity and selflessness, has helped thousands of others! I have so much admiration for Paula and all of the incredible women I met on my trip.

Yeah she sure did some great things in Haiti, go checkout the report from the media in Haiti. She did nothing but got to a school for rich kids and pose for pictures while she stayed in the 5 star hotel with mommy!

THIS IS NO SCAM, I AM DOING THIS FOR MY FELLOW COUNTRYMEN
Kim, this is an amazing and inspiring story. I really love seeing you going outside of Hollywood and making a difference in the lives of needed people. I pray you will continue to do what you are doing, don’t worry about the haters and bloggers. God bless you always. Lots of love to you!!!! xo
Wow just saw where the facebook page of boycott Kim now has over 300,000 members contacting the IRS to investigate the gifts she recieved and then kept from her wedding and then took back and used the money for gifts for her family versus her “promise” to give the money to charity. Hmm this should be interesting once the IRS starts digging into all the kardashian records!!
