Hello Everyone!

I'll be leaving for Duluth in a week from today! Wow! I'll be home for at least 2 1/2 weeks and haven't yet decided when or if I'll be coming back to Ethiopia right away or if I should work to fundraise for causes in Ethiopia before I return.

But I just wanted to forward a list of items that I would be more than grateful to receive and take back with me to Ethiopia upon my return.

Girls most favorite game: Jumping rope! If anyone wants to donate these long, multiple person jump ropes please just email me or if someone could tell me where I could purchase some I could get them myself.

Swings!!! The children LOVE to swing, however, the 'swings' they have are made of rubber lines that break all the time and use a pillow for the seat. If anyone would like to donate metal chains and seats it would be MUCH appreciated!!

Educational computer games! I'll take anything I can get!

Computers: Anyone who knows of businesses or people who are willing to donate lap- or desktop computers please contact me as the children need about 15 computers for their classes. I'll try and take care of the shipping but I really need the computers or advice on where to look for donations!

Please pass these requests to anyone willing to listen! There is much more needed, but these are the items that I would really like to contribute to the orphanage as soon as possible.
