Donations for Educational Bins

We are working on our “school-in-a-box” project and need your help!  When we visit orphanages in southern Africa, we will train them to use specific special educational materials, all of which have already been ordered.  We will also be collecting other supplies for this project in order that these bins may be filled with lots of great things.

Each bin will cost approximately $500, so if you would like to send a financial donation to offset the money we have already spent on this project, please send a check to:

PO Box 7060, Charlottesville, VA 22906

If you would like to contribute by purchasing any of the specific items listed below, that would also be very helpful!  You can send these items to the address listed above or email us at magmolsam@gmail.com to schedule a drop-off before April 1.
