Just one toy - Toys toys toys.

Hello everyone, A HUGE thank you to  Krina Morzaria-Giga , who has donated a bunch of toys ready to give away at the end of this year. Please see the pictures below. We cannot wait to give these away, and we would love to give so much more. Let us know if you can help? We can also go and get lots of clothes from a place called Kaunjika, near the Limbe roundabout. They sell a whole bail of clothes for incredibly cheap. If you are unable to give toys, and prefer to help financially, we can go get the clothes. There are many shops in town that sell toys, if you know of anywhere where we can source toys, please let me know? I would prefer to give them stronger toys that don't break easily, so they last longer. Thank you, and I will keep everyone informed.

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. We all played with the tea set. I realized they never play with this. They didn't even know how to, I had to show them.  I had to show them how to use their imaginations in playing. Something they never ...

Just one umbrella

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. On the muddy roads all I see is children running and walking in the rain.  They do not have umbrellas.  Some have raincoats.  Many have a simple cardigan, or a chitenje (A Malawian piece of material) It is cold.  And it is raining.  They have nothing.  They are now soaking wet, but they still are going to school?  I admire this. 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
