The AIM team is planning its next trip which is scheduled for February 2008. We are already in the process of collecting items to fill a shipping container which will be here next month. Please help us make a difference in the lives of our Ghanaian sisters and brothers. Listed below you will find some of things we are asking for. This is not an exhaustive list, so feel free to donate other items that you think would be beneficial to them:

Clothing (new or gently used)

Undergarments (new)

 Hygiene products (toothpaste, feminine care, etc…)

Shoes

I remember being a kid and watching television late at night. In the wee hours of the morning certain stations would show underprivileged kids in Africa and abused kids in the U.S. It was hard for me to believe that kids lived this way, and whenever I ate dinner my parents would encourage me not to be wasteful. “There are starving children in Africa,” they would say. I used to wish that I could give them my food or my nice parents who really tried their best to provide for me and love me. It wasn’t until years later when I realized that I could do that for them myself.
