You Asked, I'm Telling...Donations for the Orphanages

So many people have asked what kind of items they are needing at the orphanages, so these are the items they told me.  Keep in mind that some of these items cannot be brought into Ethiopia, so we would have to buy them there, and some we are still checking on exact details and prices, these are marked with an *:

{Remote} Orphanage
Formula
Clothe Diapers
Children's Blankets
Clothe Diaper Covers
Reusable Grocery Bags (Costco type would be best)
*3000 or 5000 liter water tank, to capture rain water and purify into drinking water
*Computer Printer
*Photocopier (3 way printer would work)
*4WD Car
(They also do work for HIV/AIDS education there, which is why the printer and copier are so important.  We are trying to find out if there are any specific needs for the HIV/AIDS portion of their work).

Foster Home in Addis
Formula
Clothe Diapers
Clothe Diaper Covers
Slip on Shoes for women and children
Children's Blankets
Reusable Grocery Bags (Costco type would be best) 
*heaters

Guest House for Foster Home
Wired Mouse for Computer
Working phone (not remote, just plug in wall type with large numbers)
Computer Printer/Copier
Ruler
Reusable Grocery Bags (Costco type would be best) 
Small toys that can be sanitized with bleach and water
Color Crayons and Paper/Color Books

Now we are not 100% sure how many bags or how much room we will have to take things this time, but we will prioritize the items based on the essential needs, which are listed here. Toys will be given the lowest priority on these lists and most likely, Kevin and I will buy a few things to leave there based on the room available. If there are any specific items you have and want to check on feel free to ask.

I have made contact with a person at each of these places and right before leaving, we will get an updated list and let you know too.

Blessings.
