Round 2

As I am gearing up for Round 2 of my Kenyan adventures I would like to take a moment to ask for your help. I have been making small talk of needing some donations, but now the time is here. I was lucky enough to be granted two extra checked bags at no additional charge and I would like to use them to bring some things to Moraa and her children. I am hoping to bring a well stocked first-aid kit to the orphanage for them to keep on hand. With thirty rumbustious kids running around accidents are bound to happen and keeping wounds clean is a challenge.  Below you will find a list of items that I, along with Moraa, as well and both previous and current volunteers are requesting for Faraja Children's Home.

• Band-aids (all shapes and sizes)
• Anti-septic wipes
• Antibiotic ointment
• Hydrocortizone cream
• Ace-style Bandages
• Eye drops
• Tweezers
• Gauze pads
• Surgical gloves
• Feminine pads
• Medical tape
• Wash cloths
• Ibuprofen

While I am very excited about the opportunity to bring donations to Moraa from the US, I am however disheartened to say that space is very limited. I can only pack so much into my two bags and the orphanage needs so much more. If anyone would be willing to donate money itself please let me know. Cash, while not the easiest, is always the most valuable donations we can receive. Cash does not take up space in my luggage and will be more valuable once in the Kenyan economy. I know it's a taboo to ask for any kind of money, however the smallest dollar you are able to spare can work wonders.

I would also like to provide a few decent meals (meat and vegetables) for the children while I am there. If anyone would like to sponsor a meal give me a shout!

I want to reiterate, my space is limited if you think you can make a donation please let me know if advance!

Thank you so very much!
