We will focus on collecting items for teenage girls. - jeans - slacks - sweat pants - skirts that cover the knees - short-sleeve shirts - long-sleeve shirts Also, any item that would seem teenage-appropriate is also welcomed, e.g. deodorant, hair ties, lotion, soap, socks, etc. Collection weekends are this weekend (July 28-29) and the following weekend (Aug 4-5). | The Hogar Rafael Ayau is an Orthodox Orphanage in Guatelmala run by the nuns of the Monasterio de la Santísima Trinidad. Both have been supported for many years by parishes in the US, by the Orthodox Christian Mission Center (OCMC) and by the Orthodox Christian Fellowship (OCF). Our own Fr. George, Pres. Georgette, Fr. Michael, Mat. Vickie, Paul and Gaby have all traveled to the Hogar and been blessed by this worthy institution. Gaby’s godmother is Mother Ivonne, who is both "provost" of the orphanage and main "house mom" to the children.
