The Morford's son, Chris, is serving in the Kumasi Ghana mission. As their family prepared to send him to Africa, they became aware of many needs in that area of the world and even among the native missionaries called to serve there.
They recently completed a service project where they were able to send over 15 suitcases that included not only p-day clothes, shoes, white shirts, ties, skirts, tops, and dresses for the native missionaries, but also 10,000 pairs of eye glasses that will be distributed along with free eye exams at the end of this month.
They are continuing their service and their current project is to send 700 hygiene kits to the participating missions in Ghana and the Ghana MTC to be distributed to missionaries.
As our Leadership Master service project that we will do on Oct. 29, we will be helping with this effort.
We would like to make 20 hygiene kits to donate. If you are able, we are collecting donations of the following things in order to put together complete kits.
Please let me know what your family would like to bring so that we can keep track and not duplicate but get all of the items needed. I will update the blog as donations are requested. We need all donations brought to Vanguard next Thurs. (Oct 29).

*toothpaste (travel size) (20) - CLOWARD
