Hi Joe, Sorry it took so long to get back to you. We've been having computer problems and our electricity was out for awhile during this storm. Here is a list of items we could really use to help the children here. DONATIONS & VOLUNTEERS Baby Care Items (for Littlest Angels): Bottles Baby wash cloths Diaper bags, cloth diapers, & wipes A&D ointment and triple antibiotic diaper rash ointment Potty training pants Pacifiers, teething rings & gel Baby lotion, soap, powder, & shampoo Lightweight clothing for infants to 4 years Receiving blankets Quilts, floor gym/mats to lay on the floor Small stuffed animals & small toys (rattles, etc.) for stimulation Vitamins: prenatal, infant, and child Infant & child Tylenol Nose aspirators (suction bulbs to clear mucus) Powdered baby formula for mothers who are unable to breast feed Expired formula is ok up to 5 years after expiration date Preemie items are desperately needed due to the high rate of premature and low birth weight infants born here. There is a great need for 22 calorie formula Any other items an infant, expectant mother, or mother would need Other needs: Condoms to prevent HIV/AIDS and unwanted pregnancy Antibiotics, nebulizers, tubing, and inhalation solution School supplies, clothing, toys for older siblings Maternity clothes and nursing bras Peanut butter (a good source of protein) Children’s books in English and Spanish The following books: What to Expect when you are Expecting & What to Expect the First Year, by Heidi Murkoff. What to Expect the Toddler years, by Arelene Eisenburg. Sample or travel size perfumes, lotions, soaps, etc., to be used periodically as small gifts to the women in our program Supplies for the Winged Angels Program: Dry erase markers Educational supplies and Art supplies, i.e., construction paper, etc., for schools k-6th grades School supplies (backpacks, notebooks, etc.) for children attending school. Playground toys, i.e., balls, jump ropes, etc. Office Supplies: Computer paper/Copy machine paper (white and color) Pink and purple paper for pamphlet handouts on prenatal, positive parenting, etc. HP printer ink: #45 black, #78 color, #23 color One hundred percent of donations go directly to the people in need. If we have an abundance of certain items, we will donate those items to other families and/or nonprofits that have a need for them. Our organization consists solely of volunteers. At present, no one in our organization receives a salary and all overhead costs are bourn by the volunteers or are being donated to us. If you have any questions or would like more information concerning our needs, please contact Nancy Agnew at WOTG.....com. Thank you for your interest in our organization. If the moderator and you don't have a problem with this, please don't go and hide off list. I'm planning on bringing a lot of people to Roatan, and we usually do some sort of an ECO project we we do our events, But this time we (well our organization) is thinking of possibly having all the people bring supplies to donate to the island. What a way to save shipping? Just to have them bring it with them when they come.
