Right now it is winter in Lusaka. It can get down to about 40 degrees Farhenheit at night. Sometimes its goes down as far as 32 degrees Faranheit. Imagine being outside in that with nothing but a thin t-shirt and a ratty pair of shorts to keep you warm.
I have personally witnessed kids wrapping themselves up in enormous plastic bags to keep warm. It just about tore me to pieces. Can you help us change that?
A young man came to visit us last month from the states and he raised $200 to buy coats for the kids on the streets. We were able to buy 25 from the second hand shops here in Lusaka.
It was such a treat to see the look on this little guy's face (pictured in the black and white photo). DOESN'T HE LOOK SO WARM AND TOASTY AND COMFORTABLE!!??
We want to raise enough to give coats to 50 kids. Can you help? A 10$ donation will ensure that one little kid (like the one pictured above) will get to sleep warm and cozy. Thats a good way to spend 10$ if you ask me! And I give you my personal guarantee that 100% of the donations will go directly to the children!
If you would like to help us help the Street kids living in Lusaka you can simply go to paypal and use streetwisezambia@gmail.com
