I talked to my mom (she used to volunteer at Missionaries of Charity), and she said that more than toys, most orphanages would better appreciate food, clothing, and funds. The toys would be good, but we can do more, right? We don't have to, but if we're going to help, why don't we go all out? ;D

Rather than just going to an orphanage and dumping the toy box at their doorstep, why not get in touch first and plan how we're going to go about this event? I mean, if we just (pardon the term) barge in unexpectedly, we might arrive at an inopportune time for them (like laundry day or something). We could get in touch with the orphanage directly, or contact an organization for outreach programs (most schools have orgs like that, and we can get contacts from them).

I could handle the calls/ initial visits myself, but if it's alright, I'd like to hear the go-ahead from Sir Malvin first. And also, what do you guys really plan? A simple visit, or do you want events like a party, or games, or ? ? ? (in other words, what am I going to tell them?)

Hi Adelaine,

Thanks for your thoughts and suggestions on this. It might be best if you contact Malvin directly via PM or e-mail.

Cheers,

Garvy

one way to do this would be to make the donation event a sort of christmas party with the children; make it a greattoys EB at the orphanage. i've been to orphanages to donate toys and other stuff twice, spent maybe half a day each time, because the kids love to meet and play with outsiders.

and, for the donors, iba din yung pakiramdam ng makita mo yung effect ng ginawa mo!
