It is wonderful how 14 people who have never met each other and whose only connection is through Sylvia's Children have begun to communicate with each other!
One of the men on the trip has been a soccer and basketball coach so he is bringing soccer balls and basketballs. Lo and behold, another man on the trip is a coach and they are working together.
Another member of the trip is going to work with the little children and have them design greeting cards that we can reproduce when we return and sell to raise money for the Mbiriizi Primary School.
Home Away From Home Academy in Matawan has donated 700 shirts, one for each child, plus pencils and pencil sharpeners.
We will be taking 8" squares of white muslin to be decorated by the children so we can make quilts when we return to the United States. We will then use these quilts as fundraisers! We need 3,000 squares and I understand we can get 30 squares out of a yard of muslin. If you want to donate the muslin we have someone who will do the cutting!
We are still looking for acoustic guitars; however, we have 11 so only need five more!
Even our travel agent has gotten involved! She has convinced her local Chamber of Commerce to do a fundraiser for Sylvia's Children so we can purchase goods and supplies for the school.
If you would like to help? Contact us at 732-946-2711 or send me an e-mail - sylvia@sylviaschildren.org - let me know what you would like to do.

Interns For Sylvia's Africa Trip!
'Sylvia's Children' is wonderful because it does not just provide food and short term relief for the children, but provides an education for a brighter future.
Our family sponsors a boy in Uganda named Peter. Many of his family members have died from AIDS, which makes this project much more personal for us. Sylvia's project has the ability to change the world, starting in Masaka, Uganda.
We are doing our part in exposing the plight of these children to people who have the ability and resources to make this organization a success, by helping Sylvia with her blog and other Internet projects, so she can focus on the children.
We are excited to witness these children's lives being changed forever!
