For those of you who have asked.....

Hello all here is some info for those of you who have asked what you can do to help the orphanages in Ethiopia.
Also check out this website for Ethio-American Family Services

"Right now our most urgent needs are: diapers, lotion, formula, clothes for kids ages 4-12 and sheets. We are hoping to do a drive for some of these items. And, of course, money is always needed. Dedra said your kids were excited about being involved. There is certainly much they could do, even at 8 and 9, that would be so helpful. We have a kids group right now who are considering doing a project called "Give 'Em 5". We say that we are building this orphanage $5 at a time, so they are seeking out people to donate $5. We are also trying to contact day care centers to circulate a flyer to have people donate their gently used crib sheets, bibs and baby blankets. So, there are many things that kids can do to help"
