Restore Humanity to host baby shower for Kenyan newborns
Posted on Thursday, April 10, 2008
Newborn babies in Kenya will receive formula, diapers and other necessities through the latest Restore Humanity event Saturday.
Through "Baby Shower for Kenya," Restore Humanity founder Sarah Fennel is collecting cloth diapers, sheets, blankets, cribs, bottles and numerous other goods for a new baby clinic in Kenya. Donations can be dropped of between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Saturday at Fennel's home at 1655 Woolsey Ave. in Fayetteville.
Fennel and Patrick Lumumba, a nurse, children's officer and founder of the infant clinic, will collect the items and ship them overseas, Fennel said.
"This clinic is a safe place for newborn babies to be brought if their mothers cannot care for them," Fennel said. "The babies stay in the clinic until Patrick can find a loving home, and they need all the help we can give."
All items must be in new condition for U. S. Customs purposes and must not be wrapped, Fennel said.
Monetary donations of $ 5 or more are also welcome, as shipping costs are expected to be high.
Restore Humanity is also raising funds to build an orphanage in Kenya. To learn more about this event or to learn about Restore Humanity's efforts across the globe, visit www. restorehumanity. org.
