Thank you Udell family: Our shoe supplier!!!
Last week we had the moms at the cottages come into our room and choose shoes for their kids. We ending up bringing about 30 pairs of shoes, and all but one pair ended up with an owner. It was truly amazing. The sizes were perfect and the moms had a blast "shopping" for their kids. There were even shoes that the moms could use.
Later that night we had kids coming up to us to show off their new shoes.
The orphanage gets so many things donated that these kids look sharp compared to the other kids in the community. It has been awesome to see donations being used first hand and the joy that it brings to the kids. If you currently donate all your gently used goods.... Great! For those that think it doesnt make a difference....boooooo
