To Kenya Forever

Hi,
I am new to this but thought tit's worth a try!
I run a small organisation (called To Kenya Forever) and am moving to Kenya, East Africa (from Australia) in January to open an abandoned babies home (aka, orphanage-but I hate that word!).
As we plan to cater to infants under 18 months old, with priority given to under 12 weekers, I know we will need tiny sized baby clothes.
In the past 3 years when I have been over, the tiny babies in orphanages don't have any clothes that fit and I want to make sure (as much as possible) that our littlies are kept warm and comfortable, no matter how small they are.
There is nothing worse than picking up a baby from the hospital with clothes that are too big for them to wear, especially when the hospital gives them to you in newspaper or nothing at all! All you want to do is nurture them and keep them warm and without the right resources it is near impossible to do that well.
I am looking for donations of baby clothes size '00000' and under if you have any you would ik to donate, or know anyone who might.
I am also looking for other items for premmies (a 10% of babies in Kenya are born under 2kg's andthey dont have good hospitals where they stay like in Oz). Items you would have used fo your prem's like premmie dummies, hats, etc would be very much appreciated.
Anyone can email me at Tammi@tokenyaforever.org if you are able to help!
Thanks vey much and good luck with your babies.
