Winter Clothing Project is Approved

With the onset of winter, Syrian refugee children and poor Jordanian children are expected to be in dire need of winter clothing (coats, hats, gloves and socks).  We have proposed that LDS Charities partner with a nation-wide charity (GUVS) to provide the necessary items to over 8,000 recipients in targeted communities.  That's a lot of coats.

Yesterday, our project was approved.  The total cost will be $200,000.  Now we're anxious to get started.  There is much to be done--legal documents, ordering supplies, sorting the clothing and distributing the right sizes to 4 different areas in northern Jordan.

We also received approval for the pilot program for women's hygiene products that we wrote about earlier this month.

Other projects for sewing machines and repairs to a school for orphans are "coming down the pike."

We love this work.  It's so much fun.
