Supplies for Africa

We are leaving for Uganda in 9 days!  For our trip we are allowed to bring 150 lbs per person.  If anyone is interested in helping us fill these suitcases with things to bring to the people of Africa with us.  We will be visiting a few different people groups while we are in Uganda including Canaan Farm (where we will be for the majority of our time), an IDP camp (government run Internally Displaced Peoples' Camp), a Compassion International project to visit Donavan's sponsor child and the possibilty of an AIDs community (AIDs Orphans Education Trust).  Here is a list of items, if you are interested in helping us fill these needs email us at yobelmarket@gmail.com to arrange pick up/ drop off.
