Box #2 Arrives and Clothes Get Distributed

The second box has arrived in Lesotho, and Box #5 has been sent. Traig and his daughter Hannah took some clothing to a rural mountain village where Hannah got to hand out some infant clothing. Thursdays are "baby day" at the medical clinic there, so a box of items was left at the clinic for babies arriving on Thursday. It is great to know that the clothing is really getting to the people who need it most.

Lesotho is entering its winter season now, and it does get quite cold. We have decided to purchase gloves and socks to distribute in Lesotho as well. Thanks to very generous monetary donations we were able to allocate $100 for these items. Laura is going to purchase them in South Africa, and they already have plans to distribute them among children who have to walk to school in the cold without gloves or socks. These items will also go to the mountain villages where it is even colder.
