Many hands make light work

To all of you that donated to The Underwear Fairy, I just want to say thank you! She collected 750 pairs of underwear for orphans in Liberia and is even being featured on pledgebank.com's success stories! And Ashley, I'm proud of you for giving your time for something as simple and as easily forgotten as this. I'm so glad we met, chica.

The young girl holding the twins cared for those babies and she alone carried them all over. The four girls on the left often came with us to the beach (the boy on the right followed us all of the way from the market, about 1/4 of a mile, and I can't remember his name). They either wore very little or very tattered clothing. Those gorgeous babies would wear soiled diapers for lack of money to wash the ones they had on. Babies, children, orphans, widows, adults, families, EVERYONE deserves to be clean... to have clean underwear.
