Help Small Village Foundation make dolls for kids in South Africa

Small Village Foundation is getting ready to depart on May 31 to South Africa with 10 Boise area students and 4 adult chaperons.  For 2 weeks they will be working on various projects, which include lots of painting, installing a garden and a playground, and numerous activities and interactions with rural South African children.  They need some help with various task, like filling in the 28 army bags they will take on their journey. They are collecting soccer balls and black baby dolls to take to the children because they very literally have nothing.

If you would like to help making the dolls (stuffing and simple sewing), this is your chance. Gloria Totoricaguena, member of the Cenarrusa Foundation Board of Advisors, has organized a get together at the Basque Center on Wednesday May 15 at 6:00 pm to help her friends Lisa and Teri with their trip to South Africa.

The Small Village Foundation is a non-profit humanitarian organization dedicated to improving the lives of rural Africans and to providing opportunities for Americans to use their talents to help others.
Based in Boise, Idaho, the Small Village Foundation accomplishes these goals by funding a variety of clean water, education, and health projects in rural African villages and by providing opportunities for American high school students and adults to travel to rural African villages to engage in hands-on humanitarian projects.
