Just one toy

Children in Cape Maclear - Malawi. Playing with Just one toy. I am from Malawi and I am a single mother with two children (You can see us in a pic below). How "Just-one-toy" began: We were on the shores of Lake Malawi playing with the local villagers.  We brought our toys on the beach.  A simple tea set and dollies.   We all played with them, and I allowed them all to play with our toys.  It was a very special moment when I realized these children NEVER ever get toys like this, and it was Christmas time.  One girl was holding this dolly the entire time like it was gold to her.  Her eyes sparkled with excitement, and I hated having to ask for our toys back when we went back into the hotel.  I wanted to give our toys to them.

Rainy days in Malawi. Please see a video below: Please see how "Just one umbrella" began: I was driving my children to school this morning.  We are in a nice cushy car, not getting rained on.

These kids need our help.  It pains me to see this, and I wish I could help.  Let me know if you can help? You can email me to find out more
