The demands for toys increased today but unfortunately we ran out last night. With that being said, we apologize to those that reached out to us for toys.

Dubuque Audubon School Multicultural Fair. We had an amazing time showcasing the Marshall culture specifically about Christmas tradition. Students got a chance to learn about Amimonos (handicrafts), watch Bubu demonstrate cracking a coconut, coconut tasting, and learn a Marshallese biit (dance).

Thank you Audubon for having us again this year. We look forward to strengthening our partnership in the future!

We had a total of 67 Marshallese children who received toys this year, putting smiles on these children’s faces for Christmas. We truly appreciate the support and donation from Oh Happy Play, Toys for Tots, and Sams Club in Dubuque, Iowa for without them Christmas would not be as bright as it is this year!

Also, kammoolol tata to the team and volunteers for helping with the haul as well as the Dubuque Marshallese UCC Ministry of Church for providing the space for toys to be picked up from.

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
