HELP NEEDED : BABY YARN NEEDED

I'm one in a group of 5 grandmas (Pilgrim Lutheran Brethren Church, Mentor, OH) who are currently involved in several mission group projects. We send our items through Medical Supplies for Christ (non-profit status in Ohio), founded by a married couple who are nurses in our church after a medical mission to Haiti several years ago.
One project is knitting/crocheting newborn caps, baby hats, blankets, slippers, mittens for an orphanage in the Ukraine. We are very low on baby yarn, like Caron or other, pastel colors or variegated and could use some donations. Perhaps some of you have leftovers that you would be willing to donate to our effort.
We're also still knitting/crocheting eyeglass cases for 3rd-4th world countries, i.e. Zimbabwe, Philippines, Honduras, Haiti, etc. Any yarn, new or partial skeins, is suitable for this project, even left-over balls about the size of tennis balls.

Medical Supplies For Christ main mission is supplying meds, med. supplies & equipment. If anyone feels led,
here is a list of our needs list:
-Watches - functioning to give to med. assistants & nurses-in-training in the field to take a pulse & make assessments.
-Vitamins (adult & kids) multi-vitamin, unopened, unexpired
-Analgesis (adult & kids), aspirin, tylenol, iburprophen -Availl. at Dollar Store for $1
-Antibiotic creams, ointments - 1 oz. tubes, new, unexpired, Avail. at Dollar Store for $1
-Fungicides- desperate for these is tropics - Also avail. at $1 store for $1.

Thanks & God Bless,
