When we travel (four weeks from today!) we will be taking two 50lb suitcases full of donations for the orphanage. We usually think of Africa as being hot all the time, but Addis is at 8,000 ft elevation and has a rainy season May-September that is cool with torrential downpours. The orphanage staff is asking for warmer clothes and shoes. If you would like to help out, see the list below (also in the sidebar) and get them to us before June 8. Clothes and shoes should be new or nearly new.
*jeans or pants for boys and girls, sizes 5 and up
*sweatshirts/jackets/sweaters for boys and girls, sizes 5 and up
*sneakers for boys and girls, size 12 (little kids) up to about 8
*socks for boys and girls
*also needed: A&D diaper rash ointment and plastic diaper covers for the babies, exam gloves for the medical staff, lice shampoo, children's vitamins.
On behalf of the kids still waiting for families, thank you for making the rainy season a little warmer and drier!
