Is it too late to send items? Unfortunately, yes. But there are people in need within every community, and many other good causes would gladly accept your donations.


Thank you all for reading and donating. It has been a tremendous blessing to me and great help to the people here. God bless!

Donation Comings and Goings

GOINGS:
Here's what went out to Ghazni City Hospital and Orphanage this week:

About 150 pieces of women's and children's clothing.  These were from Claudia & Kreso as well as Xiaodi in Texas, and also Jim and Leslie (and generous co-workers at Hudson-Baylor!) from New York. 

40 pairs of shoes, sent by Rachel from California, and Jim and Leslie.

The clinic here at Ghazni recieved: 200 toothbrushes, about 60 tubes of toothpaste, 20 hats, 40 gloves, and about 30 pieces of women's clothing.  Thanks to Lisa from Texas, Sarah from Ohio, Becky from Washington, Kathy from Utah, and Chris and Katie from California.

COMINGS:
We got some fantastic donations in as well:

Tricia from Michigan sent hats, socks, toothpaste, toothbrushes and soap.  Thank you!

Hillary from Washington had her third grade class send treats and coloring books for the kids at the clinic.  They also sent my team some cards, which I passed around today and everyone loved.  There are two that were so adorable I have to show them:


These cards (and two others put up by my teammates since the following picture was taken) now decorate the entrance to our operating room, where wounded soldiers come to have surgery so they can continue to fight bad guys for us:


I have to include a picture of this gift also, because I can tell it is from the heart:


Thanks Jack!
