Orphanage Donations

Here is some research that I found regarding Orphanage Donations. I’ve read that some families like to give another donation if they get a chance to visit the orphanage. Please feel free to comment on my info below.
*I had heard that the orphanages wouldn't use medical supplies unless they included a Chinese translation of the directions.
*Things like character bandaids, cotton balls, q-tips, toothbrushes would probably work but you might want to avoid anything that requires dosing or could cause a problem if given incorrectly. I'd look for packaging that has pictures on the container (not just the box). You wouldn't want someone brushing their teeth with diaper rash cream.
*Cleft bottles are NOT AVAILABLE IN China anywhere. Mead Johnson Bottles-800-222-9123
*Some families said that on one of their trips, they went to the market around the corner from their hotel and purchased infant and children's Tylenol as well as some Chinese medicine for diarrhea and colds. Since they were buying it in China, they were getting more for their money and the products were those that the Chinese could understand. Just have your guide check expiration dates on the boxes. The guides say that the orphanage workers feel more comfortable using medicine that is already in Chinese than medicine that is American and has a translation with it.
*Diaper creams, hairbrushes, combs, toothbrushes, toothpaste.
