At the end of October I am going to Tanzania to work at an Orphanage with my Mom. The Rift Valley Children’s Village (“Children’s Village”) is an orphanage located in Oldeani Village, Tanzania and is home for 41 orphaned and abandoned children.
These are the kinds of things that we will be doing:
- Help kids correspond with their sponsors (writing letters and drawing pictures to be sent in the mail)
- Be an extra set of hands at meal and bath times
- Tutor older children in Math and English at the Children’s Village
- Run weekend activities for the children
- Spend one on-one-time with the children
We are going to bring an extra bag with things that the orphanage needs and are hoping that you might be able to donate some of the items (all in good shape):
· pajamas, especially boys’ sizes 8-16
· soccer cleats, sizes 2-adult 10,
· kids shoes sizes, 2, 21/2, 3 31/2, 5, and 6 as well as the cleats.
They give out a pair of PJ’s on Christmas Eve to all the kids! There will be a box by the fish tank.
Thank you in advance for all your donations.
