Donating money and other items.
August 13, 2007 by Julie
We have found that direct monetary donations are easiest to work with, allowing us to purchase needed items down in Nicaragua and support the local economy while often finding things at a lower price than here. However, individual members do take donated items with them in their own luggage on a trip. Some of these items might include:
- Ladie’s dresses, skirts, blouses and sandals
- Men’s pants, shirts and shoes
- Children’s summer clothes in general
- Bed sheets, baby blankets
- Toothbrushes and paste
- Toys like baseballs, jump ropes, Barbie dolls, marbles, matchbox cars
- Spanish Bibles, Bible study materials
- Cash donations to cover construction costs, medical and dental costs, educational needs, medicine, etc.
- Medical items, such as OTC medication, children and adult vitamins, antibacterial hand gel, etc.
