The Cub Scouts are collecting gently used small suitcases, sports bags or backpacks for a local orphanage. The Scouts will set up two drop-off points on Saturday, May 19, from 2 – 4 PM: one at the entrance to Nichada Plaza (near Villa) and the other next to 7-11. Please contact.
The Baan Poomwaet orphanage serves as a transition facility for young boys rescued from trafficking and other abusive situations. The boys stay at the facility anywhere from a couple of months up to a year before moving on to other government facilities. The suitcases/backpacks will be used for the boys when they are leaving so they will have a proper bag for their personal possessions rather than a plastic bag.
