Thank you paradigm42! Its difficult to see how much we'll be able to gather so I'm shaping our contribution according to how much we can gather.
For now our best chance is to buy local craftsmanship and offer locally, so we can help both the kids and the economy :)
It definitely makes a lot of sense to purchase as much as you can from the local people and help stimulate their economy at the same time as helping the kids. That will help the kids living there in the long run as well! I look forward to reading more updates on your project. :)
