Helping out!

Since our arrival here in Congo, Becca and I have seen the extreme poverty that the Congolese live in. Children live on the street asking every passer by for money, families live without electricity and water, Church members, even with the help of the church, are unable to send their children to school, and newborns go without blankets, pacifiers, and needed vaccinations. Many of you have asked "what can we do to help?" So I asked the bishop of our ward what things people in the ward needed most. Here is a list of things he told me they would need, especially as the new school season starts:

SCHOOL
Note Books
Pencils
Paper
Book Bags
Markers
and any other basic school supplies and even fees for school.

BABIES
Blankets
Pacifiers
Bottles
Baby toys

Anyone who wishes to help out, please send packages addressed to me at
Unit 2220 Box 147
DPO, AE 09828

As this is a DPO address shipping is the same as if you were mailing it with in the United States

I will give these items to the Bishop and he will be responsible for its distribution. Any young man who is looking for a Eagles project, young women looking for Young Women in Excellence Project, or anyone else looking for a way to make a difference this would be a great opportunity to help out those in need. If any of you have questions, feel free to leave them here on the blog, or email me at tylern79@yahoo.com
Thank You
