September Focus - Lights

First of all, you're probably wondering where August's post went. Well, we have already collected more than enough toys for 100 boxes, so I didn't need to make a big deal about it! YAY us!

Second... lights.
What does that even mean?
Think flashlights, only more sustainable.

The problem with traditional flashlights is that they take... batteries.
And batteries are difficult to come by in economically underdeveloped areas.

Thankfully, human ingenuity has provided is with options! There are lighting devices available that charge by solar power, crank, or trigger. And they aren't very expensive!

This is the variety I recommend and they can be purchased from Amazon (4 for $16 with Prime shipping)

There are a dozen more options available online, at box stores, and at surplus stores (batteries will be scarce after the zombies invade).

And, as always, if you're not keen on ordering online, or would rather not pound the pavement shopping, you can make a donation directly during offering; just mark the envelope "OCC".


PLEASE DON'T FORGET THAT WE STILL NEED BOXES!!!!!!
WE'VE HAD SEVERAL SHOE BOXES DONATED, BUT a)NOT ENOUGH AND b)NO DURABLE BOXES.
