My brother finally booked his flight and he’ll be coming to Entebbe for 2 weeks in May! I’m so excited to see him and show him what my life here is all about. Besides the obvious reasons why I’m excited about his visit, it also gives me a nice opportunity to have him bring things here for the kids. Since arriving here I’ve discovered that these kids have all their essentials taken care of… they have food, shelter, a decent amount of clothes, and lots of love. The house is always in need of more money for operating costs and everyday expenses, but the kids live a comfortable life. But, as could be assumed about a family with 35 kids, they don’t have much beyond the essentials. So, between Conor and a service trip of 11 people from Vermont, I think May will be an exciting time for the kids. The group has received many donations from a Rotary Club as well as individual volunteers, and my family has already been very generous with Conor. But, in case other people wanted to contribute, I’ve put together a “wish list” on Amazon. Like I said before, none of this stuff is imperative, but I thought that it would make the most sense to give people an idea of the things we could use in case anyone wanted to donate. If you choose to buy something on the list, it will be shipped directly to my house, so it’s really simple. OR, if you have anything similar at home that you’d like to get rid of anyway, used donations are even better. Movies, books, sports balls, skateboards, scooters, rollerblades, puzzles, phonics books/games, computer games, and water bottles… they would all be great. Alright so here’s the link to the wish list for anyone who is interested - http://amzn.com/w/1XM5WXP6LJTJ9. And thank you to everyone who is still reading my blog! I miss you all!
Oh and also, my mom has some aprons, bags, and necklaces that were made in the Malayaka House Craft Shop, so contact her if you'd like to buy any! Thanks again!
