The Sweetest Project! Can You Help?

Our friend Brad Butler from San Carlos has given us some information about a great project for a group of girls in an orphanage there...the director, Alexandra Mora, is, of course, twarted by underfunding just like our local orphanage here, in Santiago.

That being said, Directora Mora has a wonderful vision for the girls who range in age from 10-17, most of whom come from abusive family backgrounds. She is starting a bakery so that the girls will learn an important trade that will serve them well as they become adults. The bakery is being built now, at the front of the orphanage, thanks to some really nice folks. We can help too! Brad and his mom Donna and her friend Jo Lyn have visited with us at our Thursday Coffee at Cafe D, and they all say that San Ramon Gringos are the best! So if you are in spring cleaning mode, The Sweetest Project really needs:

Baking pans, tins and sheets, mixing bowls, storage containers, utensils of any kind, hand or electric mixers, dishes of any size or number (matching items not necessary!), cups, glasses, anything remotely having to do with cooking or baking or serving very much appreciated

Towels, cleaning rags, buckets, brooms, mops or anything for cleaning

Cash register or money box, calculators, pencils, pens, paper, notebooks or anything for keeping records

House paint, brushes, trays, rollers or ART SUPPLIES as some of the girls have made a mural for their house and would like to do the same for the bakery; curtains, material, decorative items, or anything you think the girls could use for the bakery or for their life at the orphanage.
