I had my first team meeting for Africa last weekend and found out that we will be giving the kids "blessing boxes" on our last day there. For those of you that are familiar with Samaritan's Purse Operation Christmas Child, the boxes are kind of like that. I will have 15 kids in my group and will be responsible for all 15 boxes for them...basically, if I don't bring it with me, they don't get it. Soo...I need your help! They've asked us to get our church involved in giving to these boxes. The list below is what I need to bring with me to Africa. If you feel led to donate any of these items, please feel free to contact me or drop them off at the church office.
Blessing Box Items:
15 Boxes of 16 Count Crayons
75 Pencils (5 per child)-- I was amazed at how many brand new pencils I had laying around the house!!
15 Pencil Sharpeners
15 Pink Erasers
30 Ballpoint pens (2 per child)
15 Toothbrushes
15 Bottles of lotion (2 oz. size)
15 Bars of Soap
15 Sheets of Stickers
15 Beanie Babies, Webkins or Small Stuffed Animals
$10 per box - in total, $150 for 15 boxes (this covers the cost of the plastic box containers being bought and shipped to Africa)
Everyone has been so awesome to be apart of this trip through prayers and donations. I am beyond grateful. We are getting closer to the $4300 needed to make the trip each day! Thank you, thank you, thank you! God is good!
