Thank
You !!!




Emergency shopping spree for the children at the
orphanage and more on the way!

Dog project on the go!
  


Because of all the wonderful on-going support
that so many of you have shown for our current
projects in the DR, we were able to do an
emergency shop for the orphanage....
The orphanage has run out of toilet paper,
diapers for the babies, milk and other necessary
household items to run the home.

Charlene (the school teacher) and I (Sunyata) did
an assessment of their needs and bought not only
the emergency supplies but had extra fund to buy
extra food, milk powder, washing soap, cleaning supplies...
We also got lots of dog food for the on going
street dog project
that Jackie, the director
of the home has taken on in a major way.
(and now some cat food too;)
Here is Jackie’s letter to us: “Dear Suny, 
I pray that you are doing great.
First let me thank you for the dog food ,
the pampers they are great, and so are the
other things, specially the toilette paper you
know how it is in this home that gos so fast so
it is allways a blessing, may God in heaven bless
you for all this.
Daddy and I......Jakie”

~Thank you all for making the children’s lives more comfortable, and enabling us to do “spur of the moment” projects like this, when the need arises! ~

Update on Street Dog Project:

We are still treating the street dogs for parasites and assisting Jackie’s home with there animal rescue projects. Over 70 dogs have been medicated over the last 2 years! The Parasite medication has been generously donated by the Hope for Wildlife Society in Nova Scotia. Donations have also been specifically allocated to COLORS to help with the animals, so if anyone wants to help support this effort, please mention this with your donation!

The Street Kit Project still continues here in the DR.

For COLORS this project originated several years ago in South Africa. Many street kits containing basic supplies such as pens, pencils, notepads, tooth brushes, tooth past, small toys and crackers have been given out to people in need. Friends and volunteers of COLORS participate in giving these street kits out in developing countries. If you will be traveling during the holiday season, consider making some street kits of your own to give out to children in need.

In our next news letter, we will highlight a new “spur of the moment” project getting supplies to young girls abducted and imprisoned in a Haitian raid.

This story really deserves its own page! TBA.
