Since the children’s education is one of Beacon House’s top priorities, educational DVDs are greatly appreciated. We also need DVD players that are multiregional/system and preferably work on 220V.
In our office, each child (whether living at Beacon House or sponsored in schools) has a file. We are always needing to print and photocopy documents. We need ink cartridges for our printers (HP 98 or 45).
Diapers, diapers, diapers ... we have new babies and are in need of diapers.
Disposable and kitchen gloves and toilet paper are always needed.
If you’re in Accra, Mercy, our cook, could use donations of protein foods - fish, chicken, goat, beef and eggs. These items would be helpful when preparing nutritious meals for the children. We give our children daily vitamins ... so we're always in need of vitamins.
Soap ..... if you stay around Beacon House for a few days/a few hours, you will inevitably see children and staff washing ... washing clothes, washing dishes, etc. We always need washing powder/soap for clothes and bar soap for bathing. Bleach and disinfectants are needed for general house cleaning and dishes.
We need backpacks and lunch boxes, since we have 5 new children starting school this year.
We appreciate all the help and feel very blessed to have such caring families and friends at Beacon House. Thank you for everything! |

Hi Tori,
ReplyDeleteHonestly I don't know if we've ever actually met although I think we're cousins? I know my mom (Cindy Elliott) and your dad are cousins so I guess that's how that works?
Anyway, I heard you were in Ghana which is so awesome!! I was in Uganda a few months ago and Nigeria last summer. I work for a small humanitarian relief organization and we lead teams all over the world to provide shoes for children in need.
Love hearing about what you’re doing! I’m quite jealous honestly that you’re able to be there for an extended period of time. My husband and I are in the beginning stages of adopting from Uganda and then hope to move there long term at some point.
Keep loving on all of those little ones, it is so crucial that they experience the love you have to give.
Whitney
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI was referred to your organization through another student who worked with your program through AHA in the spring of 2011. I would like to have all of my friends and family donate money to an organization in Ghana instead of spending that on me this year. Is there a direct line that you have set up to wire money to or anything in the works with that? Please let me know as soon as possible. Email me at bindak@students.sou.edu. My name is Kristen and I will be traveling to Ghana through AHA for the 2012 spring term of this year
