Sky has 3-4 boxes of old, but good working toys that he has accumulated this past two years. I have been too busy with my NPTE last year, to do anything worthwhile last Christmas. This past long weekend, we have started to sort out toys and clothes that we can donate by December 1, 2011, just in time for Christmas for kids.

Here are a list of orphanages and foundations that you might want to donate your old kid’s toys and even clothes for a brighter Christmas for children who are not as fortunate as our kids.

The following orphanages are all close to my heart. It was in Hospicio de San Jose, where I first had a chance to visit an orphanage and play with kids back when I was in Grade school. I spent a whole month over at Chosen Children Village rehabilitating two kids with Cerebral palsy back in 1998. And Sky celebrated his 2nd birthday in one of the Virlanie homes in Makati City too.

For this year, I found out that there is a nearby orphanage run by DSWD for children 7 years old and below right behind SM North EDSA. This is where we will be sending Sky’s old clothes and old toys for this year.

If you are interested in donating toys to the following foundations/ orphanages – please get in touch with them below. Or simply drop off your donations there.
