The other suggestions for finding places with various ages of kids are good and Filo's lists of what to take are excellent. I have been taking donations to an orphanage for some years and have come to realise, after talking to many people, that NOTHING will ever be "wasted" and if not directly used, will graciously be passed on to others in need. Therefore, most anything will be used, though, as always, money for education and medical necessities always is a priority. Good for you and those who try to help out others while travelling abroad!
