Aside from making some of my favorite bags Le Bulga has recently launched a new charity program to clothe orphan kids in Russia. It’s freezing over there, trust me, so orphaned or not, sending clothes to Russia is the perfect good deed to add not just to the holiday list but year round. Here’s a sobering fact: Over 700,000 Russian children live in orphanages. Of those, 17,900 are toddlers under the age of 4. Many have simply been abandoned by their mothers who couldn’t afford to care for them. While the state provides basic food for these orphans, adequate clothing is just not available. The aim is simple: clothe the children, then reach out to educate and help mothers to come to a different decision. What you can do: Send new clothing for infants and gently-used clothes for those under four years of age. Please send winter clothes, boots, hats, jackets, gloves and scarves. Donation items should be sent to FY Global/attn. Le’Bulga (HCBW) to 213 west 35th street, 7th Floor, New York, NY 10001 starting November 15th and until February 15th.
