Looking for some handmade love

We are collecting handmade items for the Panti Asuhan Sinar Kasih! 
Our current campaign is for two specific categories:
1. twin-sized blankets: We are in the tropics so light weight fibers only.  All blankets will be handwashed with whatever detergent is available.  Please keep these parameters in mind when selecting yarn for your project.
2.  toys:  These children have few, if any, toys.  They would love a squishy, toy made with love.

Currently, there are 39 kids living at the orphanage.  20 girls and 19 boys ranging in age from 2-19.  I can provide a US address or an Indonesian address for shipping.  Deadline for this campaign is March 1st!  Please email sumbayouthinitiative@gmail.com if you would like to participate!








 Also.... Operation Dig is still underway!  Digging is set to start next week!!  We still need donations to purchase the materials to finish the well (solid, cement walls, and a cement cover - for safety!) and to install a pump to bring the water up!

  1. Hi Christina,
    I don't know if you're only looking for handmade toys, but I have a dozen or two stuffed animals (unused- think the type of thing you would win in an arcade), that I used as luggage padding when I was traveling. Could you use these?
