A few people have reached out to ask about gifts. We know that many of you will be traveling from far away at considerable cost, and your presence is truly the best gift that we can hope to receive! For those who still wish to give a gift besides that, we are sharing a few ideas here:
1. Please consider donating on our behalf to SOS Children's Village, Lorato House at Love Botswana (not associated with Lorato Simula!), International Rescue Committee, or GiveDirectly.
2. As we plan to buy property in Gaborone, we will be purchasing some home appliances from various stores. You can support us as we build a home by giving cash, sending a Venmo/Zelle, or by EFT into our Standard Chartered Bank account (please reach out for details).
3. We would also graciously accept gift cards to stores in Botswana that would help us turn our property into a home, such as Game, Mr. Price Home, Sheet Street, Woolworths, @home, or Exclusive Books. However, the stores only sell physical gift cards, which are only available for purchase locally.
4. We are also putting together a list of specific items from stores in Botswana. Please reach out if you would like to view those items.
