For both age groups, a signed Christmas Card; please don't seal it or put anything extra in it but you can write a message (we'll get it translated) and 2-gallon Ziploc bags. The 2-gallon bags are not as easy to find as the 1-gallon bags, but they do exist. We can make do with the 1-gallon bags but it is a tight squeeze! Also, as tempting as it is, please don't put the gift bags together yourself. It is much easier to pack like items together, and when we get to the orphanage where we're staying we have a package stuffing party.
The first year I went I asked what the orphans would get for Christmas if we did not bring these presents with us. The answer was "a box of candy". Even more importantly, we bring smiles and love. If you would like to be a part of the love, bring the presents to me at Canaan UMC (I'll make arrangements for collection boxes in the Worship Center and Sanctuary) or contact me by phone, e-mail or responding to this post and I'll make arrangements to pick up your contribution. God bless you!
