| Donate a toy and put colours in the lives of the earthquake children |
|
Keeping up children's spirits when they're in the hospital, or in the rehabilitation tent cities, this gives them the feeling that the are still the kids. DNCF Volunteers maintains the smooth distribution of the donated toys.
Toy Donation Guidelines to Developing Nations Children Foundation
We invite you to donate toys for this worthy cause. To make sure your donation is usable, we ask that you follow a few simple guidelines:
- Only new toys can be donated, in order to comply with our strict infection control policy.
- Toys should not be gift-wrapped and must be checked for safety, appropriateness and materials.
- Keep in mind that children need toys they can use in bed
- Please donate items on our current Toy List.
- Thank you for your contribution. Please know your gifts will certainly brighten the days these young children are spending in the tents.
- Unfortunately we are unable to accept stuffed animals
