I'm going to Belarus after Christmas to visit orphanages with a program called ABRO (American-Belarussina Relief Organization), and I need donations of clothes and school supplies to take over there and give them. The clothes can be for babies up to 16 year olds, and winter clothes are best. The school supplies can be for any age. These kids have nothing. Their orphanages aren't even properly heated, and it regularly gets down into the -20s over there during the winter.

If you want to help or if you want more details about the program or the trip, im me at shwalt13 or email me at rmshowal@ncsu.edu.

No offense intended, but we have the same problems here in the US.

No offense intended, but are you doing anything about the problems here? If so, let me know how I can help. If not, its probably better to help me than to do nothing.

When are you leaving? and how can we get the stuff to you?
(I'd email you but I think it would benefit more people than just me to post it here)

12/5/2005 2:00:51 PM

No, you don't have the same problem here in the US.

Kayti, we are leaving on December 28th... If you want to donate some stuff, I can pick it up from you. Just let me know when would be a good time and where I could meet you. I really appreciate your offer to help!
