I mentioned a few months ago that some of the wonderful men and women serving alongside Bill are trying to reach out to one of the local orphanages in the "far away land" where he is stationed. They are hoping to go in and do more soon. I would love to get together a box or two to send over... not really sure of the timeline.
Let's do this - I will plan to send over a box the last Monday in January. (28) If you have childrens shoes, new or gently worn, I think those would be greatly appreciated. Most of the children I saw pictured looked like they were elementary school ages. Also, toiletry items - toothbrushes or toothpaste, bars of soap, combs or hair brushes, etc.
I think a lot of toys and clothes were donated last time, so I'll make this the focus for now... if I hear of specific items they need, I will let you know.
I wish I could share some of the pictures Bill forwarded to me. I can't because of security issues, but let me just say these are beautiful children who need so much... thank you for anything you can give to "the least of these".
