Journal Entry - December 4, 2006 - Christmas Wish List!
Dear friends,
So many of you have been asking what you can send the street children here in India for Christmas-thank you so much! I asked the woman in charge of the children's home where I am working and living what the main needs of the kids are and have put together a list:
10 beds (about $23 a bed)
bed sheets
medicine
school fees for 4 children ($12 a month per child)
school books, uniforms
sweaters for 27 children
kitchen supplies
arts and crafts suppliesYou can also sponsor a child for $20/month or sponsor a child to take dance classes for $7/month. The easiest way to contribute is to make a donation in the form of a check written out to "Salesian Lay Missioners" and write "Snehalaya" on the memo line of the check. You can mail the check to:
Salesian Lay Missioners
Attn: Adam Rudin
2 Lefevre Lane
PO Box 30
New Rochelle, NY 10802Please write a note or specify on the memo line of the check what you would like your donation to go towards (school fees, medicine, etc).
Thanks so much to everyone! I really appreciate your desire to reach out to these kids! They are so amazing! I wish you could see them in person! I will try to send some Christmas photos soon!
So much thanks, love and prayers, Tiff
