It’s that time of year again when the local Aid to Belarus annual appeal for nappies, children’s clothes, toiletries and vital medications for Vesnova Orphanage gets underway.
There has been a slight change in what the group can collect this year.
We are taking clothes (adults & children’s), washed and wearable and in good condition, shoes (in good condition) bedding/blankets/towels, nappies (adults and childrens), wipes, toiletries (soap/shampoos/bubble baths), nappy creams and the usual calpol/nurofen, etc.
“We can only take soft toys/teddy bears, no hard toys or books. We cannot take any prams/car seats/walkers/baths/changing units/etc as we have problems getting them through customs.
“We also accept financial donations which we use to buy nappies. If you would like to donate to this appeal give me a call on 0876825387,” said organiser Myrtle Doherty.
