Dress Distribution #26 - For the children of Wilcannia NSW c/o Save the Children Australia

As the saying goes 'Charity begins at home'. For the children of Wilcannia, NSW are 50 dresses and 54 pairs of shorts through the kindness and assistance of Belinda Ritchie, the Coordinator of Wilcannia, Save the Children Australia.

If you are wondering why it is packed, it is because I still had to send it via Australia Post as it was cheaper compared to hand delivery as the M7 highway toll turned out to be more expensive. 
Here are the 50 dresses packed in the box -
