A need from the jungle area...

Sister Alvear · #1 08-05-2010, 09:22 AM

My daughter in law talked to me about some things they need as they work in this far interior land among both Native Brazilians and native Indians.

This is the list of some of the things
Sheets (any size)
Towels
personal items
Tee Shirts any size or color

boys pants size 12 and shirts same size

light shoes mens or womens (sandles and flip flops) it is very hot here...
My grand daughter would love if someone would send her a jean skirt I think a size 10 skirt. My daughter in law uses a size 16.

batteries any size

Arlei Leite Machado
Rua Bela Vista 159 - B
Bairro: Trizidela 65950-000
Barra do Corda, Maranhao
Brazil

On customs form delcare not for resale..if they ask for you to put a value put 10 dollars. It will cost probably 100 dollars to send a box of lightweight things.

Anything anyone can do for this work they would deeply appreciate it. If anyone would feel to donate money to them please send it to my home address and I will see that they get it. It is not safe to send money through the mail. Especially in an area like this.

Yay! Something for me to work on!!!

BTW, I sent you a small box a few weeks ago. It's little girls' clothes. Did you happen to get it? If it's sitting at the Post Office in Maceio, can someone else get it?

I just sent the list to the people in my church who love missions and love to bless others. I will let you know what we get.

I will call home today and ask them to check to post office. Thanks so much.

BTW, I am hearing back from some of my missions people. We are going to get a box together as soon as we can. I have no idea how long it takes to get there though - especially in as remote a place as they are! I'll let you know when I send it.
