Soccer Balls for Necklaces!!

Don't forget the campaign I'm working on right now!! I will be arriving in Ethiopia 2 weeks from today! Crazy I know!!!! So these next two weeks will be filled with collecting donations. I still have about 15 Ugandan magazine paper necklaces left. For every necklace I sell, I will be purchasing 2 soccer balls to bring to Ethiopia with me. The children in Ethiopia love to play soccer...erm...I mean football! They will use anything they can find to make a football. They will even tie up some trash just to have something to play football with! Lets see how many footballs we can bring them. If I sell all 15 necklaces I have left that will be at least 30 footballs!!! I think we can do it in 2 weeks. Spread the word. The necklaces cost $25 a pieces and that includes the shipping.

Also, I am collecting toothpaste. I have 288 toothbrushes that I will be taking over with me, but not nearly enough toothpaste to go with them!! I will take any size you are willing to donate. I will even take the travel size! I don't know if there is any on sale right now or any coupons out there, but I know AIM is always less than a dollar a tube. And I'm not sure what the rate is on children's toothpaste...that is not one I frequently purchase. ;)

I am also looking for donations of more children's clothing. Sizes from newborn through teenager. I usually seems to get a lot of the middle group (usually toddler-6ish), but the teenagers usually get forgotten. So if you have any of those I would love to take some with me! Or if you see a great sale and would love to contribute that way that would be awesome!!! But I will also take whatever you are willing to give even if they are the sizes I usually get. They still need those sizes as well!

I will also take any medical supplies you might have. Band-Aids, gauze, alcohol pads, ointments, medicines, anything you can think of. It's harder to get certain medical supplies over there and they can use it just as much as we can use it here, but they just don't have as easy access to it over there. They get cuts and scrapes like we do, but they can't run to Target to get Band-Aids and Neosporin to deal with it.

And CLOTH DIAPERS!!!! I know I am friends with a lot of cloth diaper mamas and if you are will to donate any cloth diapers I will be so grateful!!! I don't want to take any of your stash if you are still planning on using it for future kiddos (I know how expensive CDing is!), but if you are done and wouldn't mind parting with your CD I would love to take them to Ethiopia with me. Imagine them on some cute bums in Ethiopia! :) I have seen the cuteness of the pictures you all post of your adorable kiddos in their CD, now imagine that cuteness on an adorable Ethiopia baby! AHH! That is too much cuteness for me to take!! lol I will be sure to take some pictures (if I can) of them in action so you can see!

If you are not local, you can ship any and all donations to me! You will see my address on the right side of my blog. Just make sure there is enough time for the package to arrive before I leave. Thank you all for supporting my trip and for all of your donations! I appreciate them all!! And as always keep the prayers coming! :)
