Baby clothes appeal!

MrsTinks

This isn't technically a charity but I will post it anyway in the hope that people might be able to help


As some of you might know I have a friend (in fact my maid of honour!) who is currently stationed in Afghanistan as part of the British presence there. She's not part of the fighting troops per say, but is there to try and improve the relations between the locals and the UK forces and her task has been building schools and hospitals and helping the women in particular...
They've built basic hospitals, they've built schools etc but the local women are struggling for a lot of things for obvious reasons...

So she's got about 6 weeks left of her tour and she's given up on the official channels including the big charities to get some help out there for things that are not classed as "vital" for the locals...

She's asked me to send every thing I can and to ask if anyone could help too...

This is what they need:
baby clothes - used is absolutely fine, ideally without angels on or anything that could be seen as "heathen" to them. The women are more open minded but obviously there are still some extreemists out there At least a lot of women realise that keeping their baby warm is more important than anything!
Adult clothes - simple things - if you HAVE any maternity clothes that you don't think are worth Ebaying then these would be perfect, ditto breast feeding tops etc.

If you think you could help please PM me... I will let you have her direct address out there and the best thing is that so long as your parcel under 2kg it's FREE to post it out there as it's front line troops BFOP so Royal mail carry it for free to the army who then ship it out And even better... so long as the parcels are under 2 kg you can send as many as you like!

Other things if you have them spare is nappies, terry cloths, wipes... well anything baby based!
If you feel like sending anything else then you're more than welcome but try to avoid anything that will melt (like chocolate sadly!) nothing like fizzy drinks and definitely no alcohol! If in doubt then please ask me before posting it - I've become a dab hand at what is and isn't allowed and is and isn't suitable to ship out

Thanks for reading!
