Priority Needs List
While there are always things that are needed in the village and at the school, there are some areas where the need is greater, but the likelihood of that need being filled is not very good. This is where HUGS comes in...with your help.
Below is the Priority Needs List — some items are for the village/school as a whole, and others will go directly to individual children who attend or are boarded at the scool.
