2 1/2 more months of rain, and then, Zambia will be headed into their coldest season.  Many of these children have clothes that are literally hanging by a thread!  We are in a rush to get some clothes to them quickly before the cold weather comes in May.  Used clothing (adult and child size) has been collected and is ready to ship.  However, more clothing is always appreciated.  As you can see, the last shipment of clothing that Nicole sent was a huge hit, but there were many children left without (check out the crowd!!!)  We have 1200+ children of all ages in Mazabuka.  The clothes will go to the neediest because we would like to make sure that everyone has something warm to wear during the cold. 

How can you help?  Send a box of gently used clothing to our Zambia office in Lusaka.  They will collect all of the clothes and distribute and photograph them as they are received. 

Don't have used clothing to send or the time to send it?  Send a donation toward the shipping of the used clothing we already have ready to go to.  We have hundreds of dollars worth of clothing that just needs a plane ticket to Zambia.  We will ship and photograph everything we get shipping donations for.  You will then be able to, also, see it again when it is distributed in Zambia. 

Thank you all for your continued dedication to these children!!
