Can you help?Share Today at 7:07pm | Edit Note | Delete We are trying to create a care packages for our sweet kids in Rwanda. As time goes by we realize that we need to have quality clothes and shoes as the dirt road really tear up the shoes. Each of the kids now have about 3-4 sets of clothes and Chantal would like each of them to have one nice outfit for church. Thus we are looking for quality shoes and one nice outfit per child. Additionally we are gathering up quality backpacks as the ones purchased locally are only lasting 3 months. I will do one shipment from MN and one from NY to Colorado for Chantal and Mbanda’s kids who are going to bring them with them. All packages need to be to Colorado by May 3rd. Here’s the master list of needs. Needs: Backpacks: 7 for boys. 14 for girls. Clothes Remember, all clothes are handwashed in bucket so please consider durability and lack of irons.

Hi,
I visited one of the New Hope Homes in Rwanda in the Fall of 2008 and had a presentation about it at the high school I attended here in Atlanta, GA called The Lovett School. The class that I presented to made tons of beautiful, lamenated flash cards for the kids and school supplies as well. I wanted to know if you could tell me how to get this box to them, thanks so much, Hallie
