Update on Supplies Needed

Dear sponsors and friends of Lesibovu,

It is that awesome time of year where our team is preparing to return to love on the precious kids in Swaziland! We are thrilled that we can go for a visit, and are looking forward to passing along hugs and gifts from those who are unable to travel to see them.

We are collecting school and hygiene supplies to prepare "bags of love" for around 275 children. You can either drop supplies off at one of several locations listed below, or let us know if you need us to pick them up. You all have given so much to help! Thank you!!

Personal photos, coloring pages, and notes will be valued more than any other gift, so if you can include a few of those for sharing with sponsored and unsponsored children, it would mean a great deal. These children want a connection with someone who cares, and your words and time invested in a personal note or photo will be treasured for a long time.

We spent about 5 hours today working on sorting and organizing donations. We would love to have the rest of these needed items by this Tuesday to finish organizing and pack our 30 bins for the trip, so please take advantage of back-to-school sales going on now and be part of blessing Lesibovu! We can't do this without you, and are glad God has given us great partners in this ministry!
