I've been really busy getting everything organized. I now have the final list of what's needed at the orphanage in terms of clothing sizes for everyone -- please contact me for details if you are interested in helping! Also the church here has some children's clothing in their yard sale this week, so I'm hoping to get some good gently used clothes there.
Here's what's still needed for Rwanda: (contact me for clothing sizes)
- gently used/new: girl's skirts/capri's/pants
- gently used/new: boy's shorts/pants
- clothes for the staff
- one pair of +1.5 and one pair of +1.75 reading glasses (men's) in cases
- cash donations to buy more clothing once in Rwanda, as I will not be able to carry over everything that is needed.
- $200 for a family feast for the orphanage (feeds approx 80 people including meat, vegetables, rice, fanta, etc.)
- my living expenses ($500/month = $1500)
Please see the previous post (below) for how and where to give.
I'm still waiting for my visa, but they are working on it and it should be here this week! I'm looking forward to seeing my dear friend Grace and everyone else again very soon. Here we are just before I left last time:
Yah! Grace I am so excited that you are going back to Rwanda. Say hello to all those kids and give them tons of hugs and kisses from Mama Carley. So pumped for you! :) Excited to read of your adventures too!
