Donation #8 - Project School Starter Distribution - T-shirts, Boys' Shorts and a Dress from Monika - 22-Jun-2016

Today I received a parcel of 20 t-shirts, 13 pairs of boys shorts and a dress from Monika Osvald. All these items including the t-shirts were sewn by her. I will be matching several of the t-shirts with pairs of shorts and include them in Distribution #102 my project for School Starter Distributions for disadvantaged boys.

Thank you so much to Monika for sewing all the t-shirts which helps a great deal in lowering the cost of clothing items to distribute especially for the boys, and the pairs of shorts and the dress. Thank you. Much appreciated.

Feedback Dress Distribution #101 from Kijji Mission Kenya

Hi Gigi,
Our girls got the dresses yesterday. It also happened to be one of the girls birthdays. What a wonderful afternoon of giggles, singing and dancing around the classroom they all had. I was also able to bring some left over soccer uniforms from Matthew Flinders Anglican College on the Sunshine Coast for the boys. They were also delighted with their smart new clothes. Please thank all the ladies involved in your wonderful project. You all bring such unimaginable joy to our precious children here in Kenya.
Warmest  blessings,
Jennifer Hughes-Bystrom

Important Info for donating dresses

For those who are donating dresses, can you please put your dresses in a plastic bag before putting it inside a satchel to avoid getting wet if it rains. Sometimes the parcels are just dropped off inside the gate and if I dont see them at the end of the day , the dresses might get wet if it rains, Hope you all understand my predicament if the dresses get wet. Thank you,
