Rwanda Toy Drive
Forest Glen Brownie Troop 42107 is collecting used toys for children in Rwanda. All donations will be sent to the Aspire Rwanda NGO that runs a woman’s shelter in Kigali, Rwanda. Toys and pencils will be distributed to the children at the shelter and to a network of schools in rural Rwanda affiliated with Aspire Rwanda.
Because of the difficult conditions in Rwanda and the expense in shipping to Africa,we are collecting only these items:
- Duplo blocks
- Small plastic animals (like Zoo Tube animals)
- Polly-Pocket size dolls (no extra accessories please!)
- Small action figures (no extra accessories please!)
- Matchbox cars
- Little People people/animals
- Tennis balls
- Pencils
- Small pencil sharpeners (no battery-operated please!)
- Matching/Memory games
Please drop off your donation by January 4, 2012.
Look for the Toys for Rwanda donation box:
- At St. Mark’s Church in the narthex or church office
- At the Creech Home, 697 Saint Charles Road, at the back door
- If you have children at Forest Glen School, they can drop off toys in the box in the library.
We would also like to purchase ultra-durable soccer balls for the children. If you are interested in sponsoring a $19 soccer ball, please contact Melissa Creech at m.creech.gepd@gmail.com. Thank you!
