Donations

Theresa and I have been getting requests from friends and co-workers about possibly donating to the care center in Ethiopia. I contacted our agency and was provided some guidance on this issue. Theresa and I for sure when we travel will carry with us one suitcase (up to 50 pounds) of donations. Anything etc. that we collect we will be sure to get to the agency in St. Paul to coordinate delivery to Ethiopia.
