Let the Collecting Begin!

In both our previous house and our current house, there is a distinct lack of storage space... if I start mumbling any time soon about looking for housing, remind me not to buy another house that has no closets! Because we knew that the adoption process was going to take awhile, I did not really want to begin collecting orphanage donations right away. I put it off and put it off and now I am feeling panicky. So I am once again, asking for help. The items I would like to take are: 1) new children's clothes/shoes and 2) deflated soccer balls. I have a list of other acceptable items but these are the ones I would like to focus on. If you would like to contribute, I would be really really greatful as it is a way for me to give a tiny bit back to the country that is giving my family such a beautiful gift. Not to mention that it is a great way to help Ethiopian kids! Get in touch with me via the usual channels and I will make sure your items get to the right place in hopefully around a month... ok.... the panicky feeling is coming back.

Have you gotten your shoes from Robeez yet? If you go to their website you can download a donation form and they will send you 25-50 pairs of shoes to bring to Ethiopia. You only need to pay for the shipping from Vancouver.
