2 pairs of slippers
29 pairs of socks
3 blankets

countless supporters of eSimphiwe!!!

I am so proud to share with you the newest totals! WOW!!! I can hardly even believe it! You all have really done a fantastic job and you have made a difference. You should be proud of yourselves!

I had the chance to visit with Daphne the other day through email, and she said that there are currently 62 children at eSimphiwe and that the underwear and pajamas could not come at a better time! She was thrilled to hear the numbers (and I gave her the numbers I had a months ago)! She also shared with me that the children got to have a Christmas party sponsored by the fire department of South Africa. She expressed how wonderful it was to see the children have so much fun! She also shared the some of the other needs that there are for eSimphiwe. We will be launching the Silent Auction next week and I am soooo excited. This is the final event for our fundraiser and we have some great things to auction. I really hope that we can help Daphne with the other needs of the baby house!

I am also happy to share that yesterday we had a boxing party! My mom came over and we tackled the pool table room! We were able to get three boxes completely ready and were mailed off today! They are on the way and the kids will have them for Christmas. We will be getting more ready every day and soon they will have it all!
If you have any boxes, we are in need of them! L,h and W must not be greater than79 inches!

Thank you again, all of you!!! I can not wait until Daphne and the children start getting these boxes. They really will sleep well at night in their new jammies!!
