How can you help??

First of all, no question is "dumb"...
this can be a confusing project
to understand, so please, please ask!!!
A reader asked, "What if I can't sew?" 
Good question!
WE can, and I have helpers who can also,
 so do like Eva did today, and
 SEND us the fabric
to make pillowcases.
  7/8 yard for the pillowcase,
3/8 yard for the band...
 that's all we need for a basic pillow.
Can't sew, and don't want to donate fabric?
We need financial donations
in order to purchase
the pillows and blankets
 when we get to Ethiopia.
Donations are tax deductible through Gladney.
Want to get the kids involved?
We want to travel with
300 cards/drawings/notes
of encouragement
to hand out with each pillowcase pack.
Let's shower these kids with love!
Any size is fine, but if you don't care...
1/2 of a regular sheet of paper or card stock 
(like above) makes a great size!
You might wonder... Do the boys speak English?
The answer varies... some speak none, some speak a lot.
 - - - - -
Keeping the drawings simple, is a safe way around this. 
"Jesus Loves You" and such is pretty each to translate.
Bible verses are great too...  mostly, the kids will know
they are loved by seeing the evidence of effort made
on their behalf.  The language doesn't matter,
but the heart behind it will speak volumes!!
