Help Needed!
Hello! My name is Lauren Tolo and I am a Sign Language Interpreter for High Desert ESD. I will be traveling to Thailand during Thanksgiving with a friend and Deaf teacher, Tamara Zawacki. We are visiting a residential Deaf school in Bangkok, and we are asking for the following donations to bring with us overseas:
- Children's books
- Small toys we can pack in a luggage
- Small blankets
- Hearing aids/batteries
- Mosquito nets
- Monetary donations for various school supplies
These items can be dropped into a box labeled "Thailand" in the front office. Please feel free to email me with any questions, concerns or wonderings at Lauren.tolo@yahoo.com
Thank you so much, we look forward to bringing these things to Deaf and hard of hearing kids in need!
