Little Dresses Galore

A few months back I heard about a missions group called "Little Dresses for Africa." Basically this group came up with a simple pattern to make dresses from pillow cases to send to the third world. They told me then they would send me dresses, but it turns out they didn't need to. At least 4 wonderful ladies including my aunt and grandma set out making these little dresses. On Sunday I received about 40 or 50 precious little dresses. Then Kevin's mom contacted a friend from Arkansas about getting a pattern to make some as well. That friend has a store and makes tons of them. Long story short she sent a box in which I was told there are probably 40 or 50 more!!!Not only did she donate a large amount of adorable dresses but she was also kind enough to donate bracelets and hair accessories! Needless to say the Lord has provided nearly 100 or more dresses and accessories for the little girls of Bolivia.

My grandma was great and she made about 6 pairs of shorts for little boys. The problem is with around 100 dresses and head bands and bracelets and only 6 or 7 things for boys, it will quickly become unfair when we are distributing "gifts". (Now I will also say my mom was awesome and went and bought a bunch of little long sleeve shirts and coats that can be used for boys if needed.) As you can see we are really in need of some clothes for little boys. They have so little and we want to be able to provide for them as well.We don't want to be forced to turn them away because we only have 5 or 6 things to give.

This is the part where you come in! If you have a little boy, or a nephew, a cousin, a grandson, or a neighbor who is growing up rapidly, chances are he has outgrown many of his clothes. I ask you rather than taking those clothes to goodwill pray about sending them with me to Bolivia to clothe the orphans and children of the street. The Lord has provided for those little girls so much, and I have no doubt that He will provide for the boys as well!!! If you are interested or have questions PLEASE email me at aereel@cn.edu and I will be glad to help.
