I'm starting a non-profit initiative where I organize packs that are gifted to teenagers. Teenagers are frequently forgotten by donors, and as a teenager who has spent a large amount of time in hospital, this is a very important cause to me. I am looking for donations of new pajamas (sized for 14 - 18-year-olds, boys and girls) and activity kits such as diamond dots, coloring books and pencils, bracelet-making kits, exc. You can pick most of this stuff at your local warehouse, Kmart, or spotlight. They only cost $5-10 but it goes a long way toward helping teens through a tough time. Below I've linked some examples of the products I mean, however any other products that fit what I have listed above would be welcome. These products will be greatly appreciated by those who receive them. Please email projecttheraindrop@gmail.com if you are intending to donate items, and drop off all items you donate to 22 Grove Road, Kelburn, Wellington, 6012.
