A Plea for TOYS!

Last year a family went to visit Alyssa's orphange and sent us some pictures. Their daughter is also adopted from here. She said we could share the photos on our blog. Thanks, Gail!

This is the "playroom" at the orphanage. I think it needs a few items...The orphanage Director has requested we raise money for big balls and dolls for the children. I had sent some photos of different toys to see what the orphanage would like best and the following pictures are what they chose (along with the request for balls and dolls!)



So, our goal is to raise money for several exasaucers and ride on cars, along with about 15 big balls and 15 dolls!



This is the bottle making room.




This is directly behind the orphanage - their backyard. Now, I've asked the orphanage Director if they would like a playground and she said they would be so excited to get help for this. Below is the picture of a playground she liked...

Wouldn't this be amazing in that empty, concrete space!!!!! Our family is currently brainstorming and talking with some organizations to see how we can raise the funds for a playground and have it installed in China. This would be such an exciting addition for the children and for the nannies!!!

If anyone reading this blog wants to help with this we would LOVE to collect donations and send it along to this orphanage. What a fun way to help the children. We are still collecting donations for crib mattresses and baby formula as well.

our family will be having some sort of fundraiser soon - we'll keep everyone posted!

With sillyness and fun,

Tammy

Tammy,
Congratulations on your new position with Love Without Boundaries. You are certainly being used for this part of the Kingdom. May God provide blessings overflowing for this orphanage. I continue to pray for you all as you plan, create, and communicate with the orphanage. How can I (or others)help, other than, financially or prayerfully?

Dawn,
You can help us by thinking of fundraising ideas and participating in organizing fundraisers. Unfortantely, our projects need money to be successful so the bottom line is getting funds to supply the orphanage with what they need. Fun, family fundraisers will be a great way to involve people and still raise some money. Prayers are always most important as God is bigger than any ideas we can come up with and makes the impossible, possible!!
