Sister McClure ( current Humanitarian Missionary that we will be replacing) shared information with me concerning a project she has been working on. She has organized the Making and gathering receiving blankets for the little new born babies on Luzon. The hospitals do not have access to any type of blankets or cloth, and because of budget needs, they send the newborns home wrapped in newsprint, old pieces of tarp, or with nothing.
So I have undertaken to gather 'gently used', slightly worn, or new receiving blankets to the Baguio Mission Office in San Fernando on Luzon Island. I have given out information to 2 Stakes here in Brigham City to include our Brigham City sisters in putting together this service project. I will cover the cost of shipping the packages that are filled with the gathered receiving blankets. When in the Philippines, the donated receiving blankets will be distributed to the General and local hospitals so that the babies can be swaddled when they are sent home with their mothers. It will also become useful to the new mother as she cares for this new little life. I am excited to gather these blankets so that we can help in a tiny way, and serve these sweet Filipino people.
We have people in Malad, Idaho also giving of their Time and Talent in sewing these little receiving blankets. Our hearts are already filled to overflowing as we have so many here that are willing to share and give this service to little Filippino people on the other side of the world. There are so many big-hearted and giving people who surround us. Thank you .... each of you who include the Missionaries in your prayers, and who are willing to share of your time, talents, and means to bless the lives of others.
