I just wanted to post pictures of the donations we'll be taking to the orphanages in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. A huge part of this was generous donations from friends and family. We asked for donations of formula, A&D ointment, underwear, socks and crib sheets! You all delivered and we are so grateful! Many of you gave freely of monetary donations. That was very helpful because we were able to provide the exact items needed.
We are also taking paddle balls, plastic horses and safari animals and ball point pens for the children. Pens are coveted items, we hear. Pens mean children can write! =)
- 5 pkgs. Girls underwear
- 3 pkgs. Boys underwear
- 2 pkgs. Boys socks
- 3 pkgs. Girls socks
- $1500 worth of formula
- 17 pkgs. Notebook paper
- 8 crib sheets
- 30 cartons of A&D Ointment
- 10 School folders
- 13 K-2 School Workbooks
- 8 pr. flip flops
- 120 paddle balls
- 100 plastic toy animals (4" size)
- Over 150 ball point pens
All packed into one rubbermaid bin (Thank you T!!) five checked suitcases and eight carry ons! WHEW. I'm glad we're all packed!
Thank you EVERYONE for your generosity and love. Drubek
