Winners and Items Needed

Big thanks to our recent auction winners! Tara Murphy won the bath and body set, and Joy Liveoak won the scrapbook set. Also, we appreciate Phylis Otwell for donating both items.

More dresses have come in this week, thanks to a former missionary at our church. I can't wait to display and photo these amazing works of art! These are going to be some adorably dressed little girls!!

Another friend donated basic hygiene and first aid supplies. This will be a great help to the McAdams and Clyburns and the discipleship team in Manzini. Thank you!

A few items we are in need of, for those of you who have inquired about how you can contribute materially:

- space bags for packing dresses so that they take as little space in our suitcases as possible

- flexible, soft shoes for the McAdams foster daughter, who has cerebral palsy. She cannot walk, but since it is winter there, she needs shoes to keep socks on and her feet warm. If you have any Robeez or MiniStar type shoes that are very flexible and stretchy, in sizes 18 months or larger, we would be so glad to take these to sweet Mukelo.

- these are items the missionaries cannot get in Swaziland, which would be BIG treats for them:
decaf family size tea bags marshmallows, graham crackers, muffin/cake mixes, most anything Mexican (salsa, rotel, green chilis, jalapenos, corn tortillas), chocolate chips, 3x5 index cards


- funds specifically designated to purchase items in Swaziland for the care point children. We can buy things less expensively there, and shopping locally really benefits their economy. That also helps cut down on baggage restrictions. Money is much ssimpler to transport than actual shoes and clothing. :-) If you would like to designate a gift from your family, for needed items like underclothes, socks, and shoes, or for special treats for them (fresh fruit, for example), please just mark your donation so in the memo line. That money will go directly to the children we are visiting. You can still mail checks to us at church, so that you will receive a tax-deductible donation. The info is below.

We need all donations and money by May 5th, please. We continue to be so grateful for your prayers and support, and are humbled by your kindness and generosity.

Checks may be mailed to:
