Things we Need- Can YOU help?

There are so many things we want to take with us! The airline, because we are on a mission, is  allowing each team member to take three 50lb bags each for free. This is a real blessing as are using these bags to carry as much medical, food , school supplies , clothing and other supplies as possible. Each team member  is limiting their personal stuff (clothes, toiletries, camera, etc) to what can be packed in a carry on.

If you are reading this and can help us out, here are some things we still need:
  • Money to purchase mosquito nets while in Uganda
  • Money to purchase a wheel chair for Emma while there (see Post Dated May 10,2010)
  • Candy & small treats to pass out to the kids
  • Balloons for the kids
  • Children's multivitamins
  • Baby blankets
  • Children's new socks
  • Dry erase markers &/or dry erase crayons
  • Mens dress shirts, short and long sleeved, small/medium sizes
  • Chad & Syd will going into a prison while in Uganda and are looking to collect gently used tshirts to take to the inmates. (conditions are BAD there, and probably ½ of those in prison were wrongly convicted…corrupt govt), but they will let us take in soap, shampoo, clothes, food…

Items can be dropped off at Grace Lutheran Church or with any team member. Checks should be made out to Africa 2010 (indicate what you'd like the money to go for if you have a preference) and be either dropped off or sent to

P.S. A couple of years ago I went into a prison in Honduras and conditions were awful. If the prisoner was lucky enough, the families brought them food.. Very little of the few available resources go to prisoners in a third world country.  Here is a picture I took inside of inside a Honduran prison...
