The needs of a third world Orphanage

In the last post I shared how we are planning on collecting donations for our item in Ethiopia. On our first to ET we will be visiting at lest two Orphanages in Addis Ababba. These orphanages try there very best to meet the need of the children but when you are faced with minimal inflow and many children things like Tylenol and destine fall behind formula and diapers.

We will also be visiting and hopefully getting to work a day with Project 61. You can see their information at www.p61.org Through an amazing timing that is totally God ordained, one of our friends Stacy and her family will be running project 61 for most of the summer so we will get to partner with her while we are there. How cool is that!?!

We also plan to visit an organization that we have been contributors to called Embracing Ahope Ethiopia. You can check them out at: http://www.embracinghopeethiopia.com. They provide Childcare for single women, family based resource center (business classes, small loans, education etc and children's literacy.




So over the next few weeks as we prepare to travel to Ethiopia we ask that you partner with us to bring some much needed items to those with out. Here are some of the most needed things in the Orphanages and at Embrassing Hope.

Vitamin D drops
Unscented baby wipes
Tooth paste
Tooth brushes
Personal toiletry bags
Iron drops
Diaper rash ointment (A+D or destine)
Hand sanitizer
Infant and children's Tylenol
Plastic and latex gloves
Neosporine
Lice kits
General first aid times
Lotrium for ring worm
Childrens Vitamins
Children's books
Clothing and shoes, including sweaters, pants and pj's.

We will be collecting these itmes before we leave sometime in June. If you would rather make a donation to one of the organizations, let us know and we will gladly help you! We would be honored if you would partner with us to bring these much needed items to Ethiopia.
