International
Concerns for Children, Inc.
The donations
effort is ongoing collection of clothes, toys, medicine, medical
supples, school supplies, household goods to be sent to agencies
to hand carry to their orphanages for the good of all the kids
there. People can help by collecting donations for agencies in
their area. Of course, all donations MUST be perfect: on clothes
all buttons present, zippers working, no stains, holes, rips,
etc.; toys must have all parts and not be shabby-looking; shoes
must not be much worn, and must be clean (denatured alcohol does
a great job on what the washing machine can't get out); medicines
must have an expiration date at least 3 and preferably 6 months
away.
