One thing that the orphanage has been in dire need of, are closets. Closets where the boys' clothes can be stored, since the ones they had were completely fallen apart.
After talking to the orphanage manager we found out that two closets had been bought a few months back, however they were not made from a sustainable material that could handle being used a lot (since storage for clothes for 31 boys is constantly opened and closed) and therefore they unfortunately only lasted for a short while.
We were recommended to buy closets made out of strong metal as they, despite of the higher cost, would last much longer. Luckily, our uncle's wife knew a place that sold such closets for a very reasonable price. So a few weeks back, my cousin and I went with her to go buy them. Despite facing some obstacles during the process of getting them and transporting them to the orphanage, we were able to get them there safe and sound at last! So now the boys have new closets for their clothes!
Take care and until next time, sending warm hugs from Sudan / Fatima S.

(We bought two of the kind shown on the picture. They are around two meters high and behind each door are 5 spaces of storage).
