hi .exercise books,pencils,toiletries,clothes,antiseptic,dressings,bandaids,rice,thongs,hats,toothbrushes,toothpaste,plates ,old sheets,towels,toys,skipping ropes.There is so much they need and they are so grateful of anything The orphanage I went to up in the mountains had a few plastic plates for 35 kids.The roof had big holes in it and the mattresses and pillows were in a terrible state.I also noticed they didnt have any tools to make a vegetable gardens or a compost bed,its just these little things that can really improve their lives.But can i say they were the happiest kids i have ever seen.
