Our adoption agency does a Holiday Project every year to raise money for different projects. Here are the details (a copy of the email we got, so when it says I, it doesn't me the Hamptons):
We have received many donations in the past in honor of a
family or child that is home, grandparents, teachers, great aunts and uncles...
A donation to the Holiday Project is also a great gift, for the 'folks who have everything'! For a minimum $30 donation, we will collect those names and addresses and a special "a holiday gift from _______________ in your honor will benefit children at Layla House and Humanitarian projects in Ethiopia" will be sent in mid-December to
the recipient of your choice.
This year, the project will be smaller, and will encompass the following programs, with half of each total going towards Humanitarian Aid...
(A $30 donation will provide for one child or caregiver)
Children at Layla (where our boys are), Wanna and Opportunity Houses will receive A New
Traditional Outfit, Small wrapped gift and Candy.
Caregivers at Layla, Wanna and Opportunity Houses will receive a modest cash bonus which they can use to purchase holiday foods, and other items for their families.
Children in the Orphaned Student Project (OSP) will receive a modest cash bonus which they can use to purchase holiday foods, and other items for their families.
Sheep will be provided for several small orphanages in order for them to have a festive holiday meal.
The breakdown looks like this...
GROUP /TOTAL NEEDED
Layla, Wanna and OH kids $4600
Layla, Wanna, and OH staff $5400
OSP $7000
Sheep for orphanages $3000
Total: $20,000
Of this total, $10,000 will go towards humanitarian aid.
For families who would like their donation to go to a certain child
or program, I would be happy to receive those requests!
Since I am in charge of keeping it all straight, Once you have made
your donation via mail or online, please send me an email with your
name, donation amount, and where you would like the money spent.
Don't forget to send me the 'In Honor Of' info, if you would like a card sent to your honoree.
Once we begin receiving donations, I will post weekly updates to let
you all know where we are, and what we still need!
There are 3 convenient ways to donate....
