This is a very random appeal, but there were a few groups / people that we had the privilege of meeting during our trip to Malawi and would like to let you know about in case you can / would like to help in any way.
The first is a primary school that is in desperate need of supplies (rather than money)- pens, pencils, notebooks, soccer balls- literally anything that can be spared. The children attend school on a dirt floor- no desks- and the lucky ones actually have pens to take notes.

The next is a hospital who could use anything they could get their hands on- medical supplies (even just gauze), basic bedding, lıterally anything. The hospital expects to get power sometime in 2008, so until then all equpment is sterilized by burning wood to boil water and they burn paraffin lamps for light.

The last is a small village that was desperate for clothes- especially girls clothes and shoes. These guys were really fantastic and made some beautiful sculptures out of wood, but they have a very hard time getting basic supplıes like clothes. İf you're looking at donating old clothes and could spend a little on shippıng, these guys (everyone knows them by theır nicknames below) will make sure it gets to people who need it:
Peter Pan and Mel Gibson
