Current Needs

At the beginning of 2010 we shared with many of you about some exciting new opportunities God had given us in the country of Nicaragua. We will be taking our first trip to Nicaragua in just two weeks with three other trips planned over the summer. Here’s a brief rundown of each of the trips and what will be happening:

• June 6-12 Medical/Girls Prenatal Clinic/Boy’s Drug Rehab Center (12 people)
• July 9-15 Baseball Trip (24 people)
• July 19-26 Teen Trip (31 people)
• August 9-15 Women’s Trip (10 people – space still available)

While everyone can’t go on a trip with us, nearly everyone can do something. Here’s where we need your help. Each of these trips has a slightly different focus and we can use all sorts of items for each trip. Here are some examples:

Needs for June trip
• Cloth diapers
• Prenatal vitamins
• Children’s vitamins and medicines
• Adult over-the-counter medicines
• Toothbrushes and toothpaste
• Personal hygiene items
Needs for July Baseball Trip
• Baseballs
• Gloves
• Baseball Hats
Needs for July Teen Trip
• School Supplies
• Children’s toys (i.e. – bubbles, trinkets, bouncy balls, etc.)
• Bags of hard candy
Needs for August Women’s Trip
• Female Team Members – Join Us!
• Compact Mirrors
• Lotions and beauty supplies
• Baby items
• (same as June trip)

If you’re thinking, I don’t have any of that or I’d rather just give cash, that’s cool too.
