Nick will be traveling soon to meet our kids in Awasa and visit several other orphanages and care points in Ethiopia. While they are there, they'll be working on building projects and painting and facility improvement projects. They will also be spending as much time as possible loving and playing with these needy children.
We've had several people ask if they can donate anything for the trip. The group he's going with has planned two craft activities and we have just received a list of items that would be helpful for these activities as well as other supplies that would be good to have for the kids.
Below is a list of items. Anyone that wishes to contribute items for the trip can contact me at jirvin79@gmail.com. We will need the items by next Friday the 17th to allow time for packing. We will also gladly accept monetary donations as supplies can also be purchased while in the country.
SALVATION BRACELET CRAFT
Strong string (leather or hemp)
Colored pony beads (esp. black, red, clear/white, blue, gold, green)
LION CRAFT

In addition to this, other recommended items to bring for the kids:

Pens, pencils, notebooks, etc.
