We are deeply touched with your generosity. We have stoped collecting Aids but Stationery, medical supplies, toiltres and children items would be ok in the future for our orphanage project to look after orphaned children. We are not accepting anything at the moment. Cash donations are highly appreciated for the orphanage project. Unfortunately we cannot accept any other items at this time. Thank you for all the items already donated. We have been overwhelmed by the generosity.
