Diapers for Birobidjan Baby Home
September 2010
Our travelling parent volunteer, Nikki Stampatori bought and delivered diapers to the baby home in
Birobidjan with HOPE funds. The orphanage director couldn't believe how many there were, and the donation
was greatly appreciated as it came at a time when it was most needed. They were down to their last pack of diapers
so they were only using them for emergency purposes such as when children are sick.
