We are announcing our third Christmas clothing drive for the Annamani children. Thanks to our wonderful sponsors we have managed to outfit all of our children the past two years and we are hoping to do the same again this Christmas. We need to collect $510, $30 per child, to outfit all of the 15 Annamani children, as well as Vincy & Irene.

The Christmas gift package will include:

- 2 pairs of socks
- 2 underwear
- 2 banians
- pants/shirt for the boys, a dress for the girls
- shoes

We should have the funds by the first week of December to leave Durga with enough time to purchase everything for Christmas.

In addition to the Annamani children we have 33 children from the Amma Irene Feeding program. Durga expressed a desire to buy either a piece of clothing or a blanket for each child. We should collect $231 ($7 per child) so Durga is able to provide for each of them.
