Collection of Winter Clothing and Toys
Through mid-December 2010, KCF collected clothing for ages 0 – 15, which were later distributed at both the Bishkek Baby House and at the Ak Beshim Orphanage. We also collected donations of new safe teething toys, rattles, educational toys for toddlers, and mobiles for cribs at the Bishkek Baby House. The orphanages expressed their sincere thanks to all the families who contributed.
Bishkek Baby House Donations
Dryer Success!
KCF’s dryer project is complete! Ak-Beshim Orphanage now has a new dryer before another winter sets in. During the early weeks of September, 2010, we had an electrician come to Ak-Beshim Orphanage and assess the electrical system, requirements, and voltage capacity. At their recommendation, a new power circuit was installed.
KCF’s representative in Bishkek then purchased a large volume, commercial-grade electric dryer. It was delivered and installed the week of September 12 and is now fully operational. Due to its large size, it had to be brought in through the window!
New Year’s Gift Drive
On New Year’s Day, 2010, KCF delivered New Year’s Gifts to the children in Ak-Beshim Orphanage. In addition to clothes and toys, the children received personal hygiene kits, which contained items such as a toothbrush, toothpaste and shampoo.
