Okay, I know it has been awhile. Perdon. And I actually have a few good stories to share. Espereme. But first things first.
MIRACLE #1:
A local community organization would like to setup a Christmas event for my community. The community will be providing the staff, food, music, pinatas, etc. My counterpart, a sweet lady named Dora, who I am very close with, has asked me to help donate gifts. We are going to put on an event so that the children can come celebrate Christmas and win some small toys.
That being said, if anyone is interested, please send any cheap, small toys, games to the follow address. USPS ONLY.
Jaime Posa & Maria Auxiliadora Sorto Sanchez
Barrio Centro
Municipio de Osicala
Departamento de Morazan
El Salvador
America Central
I have never had a problem receiving mail to this address as long as it is sent USPS. However, it is a little pricey so, con cuidado. If you would like to help out in another way, please email me. Posa.Jaime@gmail.com. There are other options I have in mind and I'd be more than willing to work with you!!!
Suggested items:
Think Cheap! Seriously!!
Decks of Cards
Balls
Stuffed Animals
Bubbles
Marbles
Spanish Books
Grocery Store Toys
Soccer ball pump!
Nothing big, fancy, elaborate or expensive. They won't know or cherish it's value!
MIRACLE #2
One of my schools is looking to set up a computer lab. There is an organization that Peace Corps is currently working with that sells cheap computers to schools and institutions here. If you would like to help out or have any ideas for projects, please contact me: posa.jaime@gmail.com
MIRACLE #3
Okay, my Birthday is next week and Christmas is coming up. I would ask that if you have any desire to buy/send me something, do it in the name of my community. Please contact me or my sister Danielle first if you are thinking about it so I can make sure there are no duplicates. Here are my thoughts:
1. You help out with one of the above projects.
2. My girls soccer team would LOVE some uniforms, so we could have a full set. I was thinking it would be awesome to get their names on the back...but we'll see about that.
3. We also need a soccer ball pump and whistle. Any other accessories you have lying around. But again, contact me!
4. I would love to set up a women's exercise class. Yoga Mats would be ideal. Plus healthy snacks as rewards/motivations. And to remind them, chips are not a good dinner plate!
Feel free to email me at anytime. I love to hear from you!
My next blog will have some interesting updates and stories. Te Prometo!
lots of love
