I got an email from my mom's church branch back in Moscow, Russia. The youth from their church recently collected clothing and delivered it to a refugee camp about 100km north of Moscow, Russia--the camp has people from Afghanistan, Iraq and Iran. While they were there, they asked what other types of things the people need. They said Fabric and sewing things.
They are trying to teach lifetime skills to their young people so they are continually in need of fabric or sewing material. They use the fabric to make clothes, bedding and anything else that they can. They also take some of these items to sell after they have made them which in turn helps them to support themselves while living at the camp.
If you would like to donate, it would be greatly appreciated.
DETAILS: My parents will be coming to the states twice to take donations home with them. (Its not safe to mail stuff to Russia.)IN UTAH: donate to my house in Lehi by January 2nd, 2008 OR March 1st, 2008
IN WASHINGTON STATE: Contact me privately and we can set up a drop off around these same dates.
Money can also be donated and then my mom or I will buy fabric to donate in your name. :)
ITEMS NEEDED/REQUESTED: light weight fabric (no wool or Corduroy), sewing and knitting needles, thread. My mom said, even small amounts of fabric that you have left over from a project can be helpful. **no Christmas fabrics.
We are so blessed to live in the United States and have so many things. Please contact me if you would like to help with this, or have further questions.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
