We are collecting clothes, (educational) toys, (bed)textile and school supplies to ship in a container to Brazil. Do you have used, but still good stuff for the children in Brazil? Let us know, we will come to collect it. We can use the following items:

• Clothing: Everything that is still in good condition. For children but also for adults. There is much need for winter jackets!
• Other textiles: Blankets, comforters, sheets, pillowcases, towels, curtains
• Toys: Children’s bikes (all sizes), tricycles, go-karts, construction material (blocks, Duplo, Kapla etc.), puzzles, ‘smart games’, (mini) loco
• Large toys: Swings, slides and trampolines
• School supplies: Notebooks, writing and drawing materials, crafts materials, educational games

We will use these items for our projects and to support families. Some of these items will be sold to generate additional income. The money that will be generated will be used for the construction of an orphanage. Winter jackets, blankets and children’s clothes are very needed. It can be very cold in the winter and due to the fact that most houses are not isolated or have any heating people suffer from the cold. Clothes for children are often very expensive. Sometimes a simple romper can cost up to 10 euros. We will sort all received items. What we can use, we store in banana boxes. These are free, solid and all have the same size. Items we can’t use we will donate to other charities.

Volunteers

Besides the items we collect, we can always use some extra volunteers:
– Volunteers that collect items and sort them for shipping
– Volunteers who are willing to start a collection point and have storage space available
– Volunteers that have knowledge about sea transportation and is willing to make the appropriate arrangements for us
