1. Support Sahara House by donating household goods
Date: Wed May 4, 2011 10:12 am ((PDT))
Here is another opportunity to support a worthy cause while clearing out your unwanted household goods!
-----------------------
Courage Homes is a team of expats and Indians who are working together to establish a transition home for girls who have been rescued out of forced prostitution. We will be receiving girls who the police or other rescue organizations find in brothels. The Child Welfare Committee then assigns them to us to take care of until the court decides where they should go. During their time with us, we will have trauma counseling, meetings with a lawyer, and times with a social worker, who will also determine if it is safe for her to return home. We may have the girls with us for 6 months.
………
Some of the things we need/wish for: Sheets for single beds, clothing for girls ages 13-18, desks, simple books, desk chairs, balls, hula hoops……
