January 2011 Project

Some of our projects!
The quilt almost completed! (and now it is!)
Making geckos!
Hard at work!

As you can tell from the pictures above, everything is going wonderfully but don't get the idea we couldn't use your help! We successfully made 5 Winter hats (which are so cute and will be put to good use!), 1 quilt (what an accomplishment!), 2 fleece blankets (warm!), 6 bead geckos (so cool!), 39 bracelets (wow!), 23 scarves (amazing!), and finally, 39 happy pictures (perfectly colored).We also made hygiene kits. I am proud to congratulate the many people that showed up and helped. As for where the things are going: The geckos and bracelets are for several orphanages in Ethiopia. They will be brought there by my mom (no, I'm not going!). The pictures are going to a retirement center for the elderly. It was a great week and remember to come next time!

Serving With Smiles Visits the Maliheh Clinic

We donated winter hats, gloves, bracelets & geckos and some toys we’ve collected.

People go to this clinic when they can’t afford to go to a regular clinic.

The doctors and nurses give our donations to the kids that come in to help them not be scared, and to keep them warm when they leave. 100’s of doctors, nurses, dentists and other people come work there for free in their spare time.
