Well, I didnt have the chance to pretype something because the electricity has been sporadic, meaning the desktop with the English keyboard I have to use now is rendered useless.
Anyway, my point: Me and a group of volunteers are going to get together and feed some orphans at an orphinage in Natitingou for Christmas. Without our help these kids wouldnt have any more then a sack of rice for their Christmas dinner, and definitely no presents! Actually, these kids - 80 of them- are all living in a one-room orphinage, and they dont even have the money for soap. Because of this, a very contageous and easy to cure skin disease has been passed to all the orphans, and so we would like to get them the medicine for this as well if we have the money.
It occurs to me that you guys at home might be interested in helping out, and I know it is comforting to know exactly where your money is going when you donate. You can believe me, any money you might decide to send will definitely go to this orphinage, and me and other volunteers will be buying the supplies directly, so there should be absolutely no corruption involved whatsoever. If you are interested in helping, just know that a little goes a long way and every bit will be greatly appreciated. Here is the address to send your money to... no worries, its a US address:
Jane Haskin
4925 NW 34th St
OKC, OK 73122
USA
If you are interested and do send something then my mother will recieve it at the address above, and she can then put it in my bank account. There are very few ATMs in the area, but I will be able to get to one in before and after Christmas. If more money comes after I get to an ATM then my mother can tell me the amount and I can borrow it from my daily living allowance, so dont worry about a time deadline. To give you an idea, each volonteer involved is pitching in the equivelant of 20USD.
Well, besides that things are going well for me. Ive written a few blogs, but there isnt time to type them out right now... plus I cant stand french keyboards. Anyway, Ill post more soon. To all of you, merry Christmas and happy holidays! And to all of you who are wanting to help out, well, thanks in advance!
