Mary,

I have seen a lot of kids coloring in coloring books, even the older ones - but there seems to be plenty of those in supply where I am anyway.

I dont know - you may be right, but they are still focused on survival at this point - and finding loved ones. They are actually moving them out to more permanent housing rather quickly as well. That is the thing that impresses me the most. So many folks already are in apartments.

If you wanted to donate some, I'd say 'go for it'. Perhaps though - you could send it directly to a childrens home? I can get you the address of one here in CC that took in 45 orphans from New Orleans.
