We have an opportunity to bring donations to the orphanage where Angelo currently lives. While the caretakers do the best they can with their supplies, the orphanage is not owned or operated by the agency - it is independently licensed and controlled by the Ethiopian government.
Donations are of course not required, but are warmly received by orphanage staff that are doing their best to care for the children in their charge. We are planning to take 2 bins with us to give to our agency (they will disperse the items to the orphanage). If you would like to contribute, we're asking that items be delivered to us by Sunday, October 5th.
Here's a list of requested items (most needed items in bold). Books and DVD's can be in English:

We are so excited for you guys! We knew the day would come. Way to hang onto your faith :) We have added the dates of travel and adoption to our calendar. We also added few the needed items to our grocery list this week. Merrie :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Merrie, for the orphanage donations and for your prayers along the way!
