Children in Kazakhstan love to dress up. For New Year's every young child dresses up for a party at school, similar to the way children dress up for Halloween in the States. Often, children from the orphanages do not have a costume to wear to school or for the special events that the orphanage puts on. With the abundance of costumes available in the States, I thought I'd share this need (well more of a desire), to see each child have a costume to wear.
Some Ways to Meet This Need
- Go through your children's dress-up clothes and see which ones they no longer want
- Find great deals at the after Halloween sales
- Send costumes that your children used this year but will no longer fit next year
- Ask friends and neighbors if they have any gently used costumes
If you would like to have your costume(s) available for a child to wear this New Year, it would be best to mail the costume directly to Kazakhstan since we don't have any groups coming over before then. It usually takes about three weeks for a package to arrive, so you would want to mail it by mid-November. Also, I ask that you make sure the costumes that you send over are in good condition and are not scary. Thanks for remembering the kids of Kazakhstan this Halloween!
Packages can be mailed to:
Interlink Resources
31A Aksha Batyr
Taraz 080012
Kazakhstan
Note: Shipping charges are more expensive than packages mailed within the USA. If you are able to collect costumes but are unable to ship them over, please let me know and we can look into other options.
