I love this little girl's smile! She was so happy to receive a Christmas gift from me last year. I realize now that many of the gifts were largely impractical - stuffed animals, matchbox cars, hair ties and candy. The practical items included backpacks for the boys, soaps and lotions for the girls and lots of school supplies. This year's package will be different...read the copy of Tigist's email here:
Dear Susan, you can send the clothes and school supplies, the visa and master cards are not appropriate for us because we dont have it, please if possible use our bank account which previously told you. The children are very well, they start school. Thank you. Love Tigist.
It took weeks to receive this reply - email service is unreliable at best.
Tigist has basically given me the "go-ahead" to send new clothing and school supplies for everyone. Time to re-connect with fellow Etsians interested in the children and make plans!
