Baby project

One of the senior missionaries humanitarian projects is providing new born baby kits to the state run hospitals. The women that come to these hospitals to deliver their babies usually come with nothing to take the babies home in. The hospital gives them a diaper but that is all.  If anyone or organization would like to gather/collect some of the items listed it would be greatly appreciated.  THE ONLY CATCH IS THAT WE NEED TO HAVE THEM COLLECTED AND DELIVERED TO OUR SON IN MANTI, UT BY DECEMBER 10, 2015.  HE CAN THEM BRING THEM TO US HERE IN GUATEMALA. 
This is what we typically put in our Newborn Baby Kits.  A flannel receiving blanket, can be either single layer or double about 40 or 45" square, a onesie, short sleeve, printed, color or white in size 0-3 months, a pair of socks, the roll top ones are best because they stay on their little feet, Walmart has them in packages of 3, a hat either hand made or purchased newborn hat, wash cloth and a bar of Ivory or dove soap. Everything is put in a gallon size ziplock bag.
Occasionally we receive burp pads, diapers and pins, toys, coloring books and crayons, etc., (we can always use coloring books and crayons) which usually go separately to the regional hospital where they are given to babies or children in the hospital with illnesses.  We try to keep the kits as standardized as possible to avoid hurt feeling.  We include a card identifying it is a donation from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints that we print up here from the official church logo.
If you can help please let me know.  Thanks Mary Ann (Hermana Smith)
