Help with Humanitarian Aid

Some of you have asked how you can help with humanitarian aid, which we will take with us on our first trip in October. Here are two ways:

1. Donate items for us to take to our adoption agency's foster care centers. (This is where Myles spent five out of his first six months.) Some current needs are:
a. Infant clothing (new); Boys and Girls; sizes 0-2 years.
b. Huggies Snug and Dry Diapers, Extra Large Case – Sizes 1, 2, 3 and 4
c. Huggies Natural Care Wipes (Unscented); 576 count
d. Purell Hand Sanitizer NXT Refill, 1000ml
e. Toys & Activities for Older Children (Art Books, Crayons, Colored Pencils,
Markers, Manipulative Toys like Puzzles).

2. Make a donation to provide a meal for kids at a government orphanage. (This is where L has been for about four years.) Recommended gifts: 1 cow ($300-$400), 3-5 goats or sheep (about $40-$70 each), oranges and bananas for everyone (kids and caregivers) at the orphanage (about $25 total), soda for everyone (kids and caregivers) at the orphanage (about $30 total).

If you'd like to help in some way, please let Chris or me know!
