Blankets for Ethiopian babies


I frequent the blog of a woman who has ten children - six of them through adoption from Korea and Ethiopia. Her sister is traveling to Ethiopia soon and is taking supplies, and money to buy supplies, for the OB ward of a hospital. Mary, the writer of the blog, is holding a blanket party on Feb. 1st, to raise money to buy blankets for the babies in that ward when they are born. You can visit her site that day to donate money through paypal and all proceeds go directly towards baby blankets. In case you are wondering why you can't donate a blanket instead, it isn't easy to cart blankets across the world, plus it makes a lot more sense to buy the blankets there, where they are cheaper, and the money can contribute to the Ethiopian economy. Thought some of you might interested!
