When I go to ETH, I plan to take a suitcase (or two) of items to donate to the orphanage and transition house for the children there. I asked our agency what they need, and here is the list I was sent:
□ Preschool toys, Bath toys (no toy guns, please)
□ Craft supplies; crayons, pencil crayons, colouring books, pencil sharpeners erasers, craft scissors, pencils, construction paper (no glitter or glue please)
□ Outdoor toys; skipping ropes, badminton set, soccer balls, Tricycles (bring unassembled and reassemble at Transition Home); (no sidewalk chalk please)
□ Flash cards of numbers or the alphabet, puzzles, note books, letter tracing books, etc.
□ Medical Supplies; Band-Aids, Ozonol, Polysporin, children’s and infant Tylenol, baby oil, cold syrups, Vaseline, Penaten cream
□ Personal Hygiene items; children’s toothbrushes and toothpaste, hair elastics, clips and barrettes
□ Twin size sheets, crib sheets, blankets, towels, face cloths
□ Disposable diapers and children’s underwear
□ Shoes for Toddlers (for kids approx. 2 to 4 years old)
Very gently worn items in excellent condition are accepted - but newer things will last longer!
Anyone in our circle of family/friends is welcome to send things to me for the collection ... I have two+ friends that plan to accompany me on the trip, so we will have lots of "pack mules", plus this will leave us with empty suitcases to bring home all our ETH treasures!
