In Kind Donations Needed for ACTion: Ecuador

From March 31, 2009

Complete with updates.

We must collect everything for the 2009 project by THURSDAY June 18th.

If you’re in the NYC area, please join us for the Guest Bartending night at Deacon Brodies (http://www.murphguide.com/bars/deaconbrodies.htm) on June 18th from 6-9pm where we will be raising money for last minute donations needs as well as collecting any in-kind donations we still need to take down.

We’d love to see you there!

“Love is not a feeling.  No matter how much you feel, love means nothing when unrelated to action.  Love is action.” ~ Anne Bogart (from her book “And then, you act: Making art in an unpredictable world”… I highly recommend picking up a copy!)

So Artists, let’s start taking ACTION now!
Here’s a list of donation needs.  If you have any of these items or know someone or some company that would be interested in donating any of the following items… then please let me know.

Below is the full list of what we need to bring to these communities.  So, let’s knock out the easy ones first.  Everyone can donate a few pairs of socks, 2 DVDs, some neosporin or tylenol, and an old digital camera. So, get that together and let me know what you have… we will be updating you all with the list of donations as they grow.  Then, let’s start shootin’ down some of these bigger items, like a LCD projector, etc..  Ask around, you never know who has something lying around gathering dust.

This is the list of things we still need.

QUILOTOA COMMUNITY CENTER
DVD Library 
(we would like to bring a year’s supply… 52 “entertainment” films and 52 “educational” films in Spanish or with Spanish subtitles… if we each are responsible for 1 entertainment DVD and 1 educational DVD, then we will have more than enough for the community center)
Medical Supplies 
(bandages, ointments, first aid kits, old cosmetic bags (6″x8″ approximately) to make first aid kits, etc.)
