Children of the Nations
I’ve worked with Children of the Nations (COTNI) in the past and they are a very cool organization.
At one point, my wife and I and some friends volunteered for their Meal Marathon – an extremely grassroots effort to get food to hungry kids. The program wasn’t a hundred layers of abstraction away from the actual goal – feeding hungry kids. Instead it was a simple matter of putting food in bags, putting bags in boxes, putting boxes in a shipping container, and shipping the container to Sierra Leone and the Dominican Republic. So simple… so helpful.
Right now and until June 12, COTNI needs donations of the following items…
- School backpacks
- School SmilePacks
- Hygiene SmilePacks
- Solar-powered flashlghts
- Soccer cleats (any size)
- Baseball cleats (any size)
- Soccer balls
- Soccer ball pumps
- Baseballs
- Baseball gloves
If you live anywhere near Silverdale, WA and would like to help get these items to the kids that need them, please go to https://cotni.org/get-involved/locally/donate-resources and get more information.
