Hey all,

This is the most recent email from our contact in India: 

We have an abundance of craft supplies here.  We have more here than you guys can even bring with you.  So please don't go out and try to collect all of those things.  There are some things the orphanage needs, but since we have tons of craft supplies, it would be more beneficial for the ministries here if you could bring something else.  Most of that stuff on the list we have a ton of.  But I do know at the orphanage that they need two things, diapers and print cartridges.

One of the orphanages adopted a baby that was going to be either aborted or thrown away, but they need diapers for her because they are so expensive.  She is a size 2 diaper right now.  So if everyone could bring one big package of diapers half of them size 2 and half of them size 3, I think that would really bless the orphanage, their budget doesn't have room to spend an extra 6000 or 7000 rupees a month on baby stuff, so they have been paying for it out of their pocket, which, the in charge only makes about 8000 rupees a month, so that is all of his salary. 

The other thing they need is print cartridges, they have a printer that works, one that we need to use for budgets, accounting, and records, but the catridge is out and we can't get one here.  We have looked everywhere.  So if there is anyways that everyone could bring a black and color print cartridge, that would be a huge blessing.  I know these may seem very different than the craft supplies, but I think that they won't cost anymore than people getting big bags of all the different supplies.  I looked online and found the catridges.  The black one is Canon PG 40 Black.  The color one is Canon CL 41 color fine cartridge.  These cartridges are for a Canon Pixma mp160. 

The black one....

If it is at all possible for people to get these, they would me a big need that we can't get over here.  Thanks for all you are doing and I can't wait to meet you guys.

Can we get people to sign up for these things?  And lets not worry about the other craft supplies, it sounds like it would be wasteful for us to purchase and bring more things that they have plenty of. 
 
Thanks guys and gals
