4. Hygiene Help Happens during December. The Sander’s minister to deaf students in an eSwatini boarding school. Most families cannot afford the expense of bringing their own toiletries.

Use a Second Mile offering envelope and mark it Hygiene Help and put it in one of the pillars at the back of the sanctuary.
