The first project for Kpando Children’s Fund will be a Christmas donation to all of the children at the Ryvanz-Mia Orphanage. There are now 13 children at the orphanage, 3 of which arrived last week. If you would like to donate, please contact me and I can let you know what is needed, and look for future posts on specific items that are needed.
I plan to have the packages shipped out by November 21 so that they can arrive in time for Christmas. Shipping to Ghana takes 2-4 weeks and a small 10 pound package will cost about US $75 to ship.
Any help you can provide will be very much appreciated by the children in Kpando.
I have personally thought of a few ways to ask for clothing donations from my friends and family. My church’s women’s group will be doing a service project where they will be picking a child and they will donate one item to the child of their choice.
Each year, my husband’s family has a drawing among the kids and their spouses, and we all give one gift to the individual that we draw. This year, I am asking that instead of giving gifts to each other, we give one gift to a child.
These are just some ideas that I have thought of that make it easy for everyone to donate.
Thank you,
Kelly Brown
