The following items are really needed by the AIM base for our ministry at our care points…Any of these items brought for us to use would be greatly appreciated:
· Children’s Coloring books –any but preferably specifically Christian ones.
· Pre-school and 1st grade age level work books
· Pens, stickers, construction paper, school pencils…
· Card Games: Flash Cards, Fish, Uno, Old Maid etc…
· Kids Games: Specifically educational ones that will teach kids something
· Skipping ropes
· Wet Wipes
· Children’s flu medicine
· Any Christian or educational DVD’s – if teams can get a bunch of these donated, they can take them out of their individual cases and pack them in one multi CD case.
If you have questions about this list please contact the admissions department!
megan blackwell’s mom here and we’ll try our best to pack as much of this as possible!
Does it matter if the coloring books (or pages) and DVDs are in English?
What kind of workbooks are needed?
Ani and I will be shopping for items on the list. So glad for specifics to send over! SO glad to help where we can!!
Hey Team-
It’s great to hear how excited you are about helping provide supplies that will help AIM’s ministry in Swaziland. I just wanted to let you guys know, you DO NOT have to go out and buy this stuff. In fact, we highly recommend that you attempt to get donations. A lot of places will give out various supplies and things when you tell them what you are doing. Just know, if you would like to buy some of these items, you can, but it is not required or recommended! Donations are much better because they don’t require you to spend additional money!

YAY!!! I’ve been saving up some things and I’ll definitely get more to send. And Anna thought I wasn’t going to stuff her bags full of stuff from me! Mwu-ha-ha-ha!!!!!
Wow! I agree with Chandler, I think this list (and each new bit of info we get) makes the trip seem more and more real and closer!
For some reason, this makes me so excited! 🙂
