The Importance of Skivvies
Adoption ARK’s Fall Humanitarian Aid Project
Underwear is such a must
They help keep out the dust
To go without them is very scary
Because they’re very necessary
~Chase, age 9
While in Russia this summer I watched some kids from the Ivanovo region play water games. Some of these kids, in an attempt to keep their jeans clean, played in their skivvies. I won’t go into detail but I’m sure you can imagine what a pair of undergarments, which have been handed down multiple times, looks like. I’ve been told that they get an exchange of underwear only once per week due to the short supply.
This fall Adoption ARK is collecting undergarments to send to the largest orphanage in the Ivanovo region. This orphanage houses over 500 children and is one of the poorest in that area. They are in very short supply of older boys undergarments but undergarments in all sizes, for boys and girls, are needed. We have tried to make donating as easy as possible in hopes that we can collect a huge amount of underwear.
