Directly from the Wade's blog........."The dolls we bring with us to Ethiopia will be taken to the children at the government orphanage, and if we have enough, we would love to bring one to every child at the America World Adoption Association transition home, Abenezer Orphanage and KVI orphanage. These dolls are so simple and can be made out of any scrap fabric or old clothes. I am actually using an old pillow to stuff them, so I haven't bought a thing."
Seriously, we are talking 100's of kids here. 100's of dolls needed. What an awesome opportunity for you sewing people out there. I have personally been to several orphanages in Ethiopia and when I say these kids have nothing of their own, I mean NOTHING. what a blessing it would be to bring a doll to every single child, a doll absoltely all their own. I can picture the smiles on their faces already. I just know from seeing it with my own eyes the joy it brings to these kids when they get a small gift of their own. Visualize yourself with a scratch lottery ticket that is a $1000 winner. I imagine the feeling of getting a doll is the same to these precious little ones.
Let us not talk about loving people. Let us love people with our actions, our deeds, our hands, our hearts, just as the bible tells us so. Take a moment to decide today to make your life not about you. I know for me, without loving people, life just doesn't satisfy. There is a gift that I receive, too, when I make this life about more than just me and mine. If you choose to participate in this project, I pray that HIS blessings be poured out upon you, and that you would be an inspiration for others.
"Dear children, let us not love with words or speech, but with actions and in truth." 1 John 3:18
