CNY Clothes Collection Drive

Friday, December 26th, 2008

Every Chinese New Year, as part of the festive season, we buy new clothes to usher in a brand new year. This year, we are doing a clothes collection drive post-CNY and we ask for you to set aside all your old clothes which are in good condition and give them to the destitute.

We will be planning a container shipment up and we need the following things :
1 ) Carton Boxes (About 300)
2 ) Warehousing Space
3 ) Volunteers For Collection & Sorting
4 ) 4 Collection Point (North, South, East & West Areas) for people to drop off their stuff.

This drive is similar to the one before. We will be sorting the items and the items that have re-sale value, we will sell these items to help us cover shipping costs. The remaining clothes will go directly to the following people groups.

1 ) Destitute Villagers
2 ) Streetkids!
3 ) Hmong Refugees

Email me @ eugene@radion-international to be part of this effort !

December Update

Friday, December 26th, 2008

Blessed Christmas to all our dear readers and supporters.

I know this came a little late as we lost internet connection up here for the last 11 days.

We have just completed a series of home visitations and tomorrow is the Hmong New Year. We’ll be celebrating with the poor by treating them for a simple dinner, and on Sunday, we’ll be having mass games with the children from destitute families :)

Please keep us in your prayers :)
