Again, always best to specify which island when looking for something! But since you said, "Sunny Isle" I know it's STX.
Maybe a long shot but you might check with the "thrift" organizations on STX as well as the Queen Louise Children's Home. I'm more familiar with those on STT than STX but often these organizations and thrift centers can't sell or use donated items which end up in the dump when they may well be totally useful to a project such as yours.
This is going to be a very life-changing experience for many of the participating youngsters. All the best and good luck!
