Donations

This month has flown by! It's crazy to think that I have been here for just over a month. I wanted to update you on all the donations that ya'll gave for my team to bring up here last month! First off, Sonrise says "THANK YOU!!!".

22 people came with me in July. We were able to bring around 53 (50lb) bags of donations. Everything from adult clothes, children clothes, diapers, formula, bottles, plastic spoons, toys, flip flop of all sizes (over 500 pairs), baby shoes, socks, books, crayons, chalk, bibles, shampoos and soaps (for the aunties), etc.

The day we arrived, we started sorting through the donation boxes to get the items where they needed to go and when we got to the formula, the workers were so excited! Found out that they had JUST run out of the last bit of formula they had that morning. Gods timing is the best timing!

We just handed out the last bit of those donations last week. With all the flip flops/shoes, you were able to supply a couple pairs of shoes for each child in the Baby, Children's, and Girl's Home. We had enough left over to give some to the workers too. Then we carried them into the villages. Gave them out at several schools. In the jigger removal clinics, we were able to give out shoes to those who just had their feet treated for the jiggers.

Thank you to Westside Baptist Church for raising the funds for the Berkey Water Filter!! Use it every day. Nice to have clean water! (:

Thank you to the anonymous donor for the new camera! We are loving it and it is taking great pictures.

Thank you to United Baptist Church for the funds to buy water filters to put in the homes!

The aunties were so excited to get their shampoos and soaps. Children are loving the toys and chalk.

Again, thank you for all of your love, support, and donations! It means so much to all of us here!
