During our trip we will be spending several days at the orphanage in Saline Maillete. We will be turning a storage room into a library (liberi) for the orphans.

In addition, we will be purchasing supplies and tools to paint the library and orphans houses and to build bookshelves. We are also accepting donations of new or slightly used toys for children ages 3-12. Plastic or wooden toy trucks, marbles, dominos, dolls, balls of all types or any other lightweight, durable toys will be good and new, handmade or like new children's clothing; summer dresses, skirts and blouses for girls sizes 3T-16 and pants, shorts, shirts or tops for boy 3T-18; under garments, shoes and shocks for both boys and girls.
