(Repeat) Babies Home Clothing Drive
We are the club officers of the High School club called Phayathai Babies Home, that visits a local orphanage every Friday. The children at Phayathai Orphanage either do not have parents/guardians or their parents are unable to take care of them. In order to further help our dearly loved orphanage, we are running our first Babies Home Clothing Drive. We would much appreciate new or lightly used children’s clothing that would fit children from the ages of 5 and under. Any baby clothing is accepted, but it is important to keep in mind Thailand’s weather in mind and know that summer clothing will be more useful to them than thick winter clothes. Outside of the ES office, inside the Mother’s Room, and in the Community Service Office there will be a box that is labeled “Babies Home Donations”. The drive will be running from November 7th- December 5th.
Thank you very much for your help!
