Hi Everyone
My husband and son are going in 4 wks to work at an Orphanage in Lusaka Zambia, they would really like to take items for the kids to play with and also Baseball Caps.
If any of you know of anyone who might donate such items.
Please get in touch.

Thank-you

    I dont know of any companies that donate items, but Ive never had to ask (not for that sort of product anyway!) Id see if local newspaper would do a story on it, and then ask around some stores - do it face to face, rather than by email, which they can just ignore! Make sure you get the stores mentioned in the paper, thanking them for their generous donations.

    One thing I do wonder about is why people bring stuff over - why not bring money over and buy toys etc there? (Genuine question! :) )
