ANYTIME - YOU have been so generous in giving and making items for the Romanian Orphanage Children. We continue to have connection with them through a coordinator from there. If you wish to continue knitting and donating, we can ship items. They are so happy to receive any knitted items for toddlers through 18-year-olds, plus other items that these children never receive - Beanie Babies, free McDonald gifts that come with children meals, school supplies including back packs, craft supplies. It is exciting to hear that the girls in the school are now feeling less oppression and being able to attend colleges instead of being picked up by factory owners and forced to only work in the factories. Christianity is growing - what a joy. Contact Jo Ordway at jo@ucciaconf.org for more info.
