Thanks to our friend Rachel who helps with the REMEDY program (Medical Equipment for the Developing World) here, we were able to collect a large amount of donated medical supplies to bring with us. Our friends Carolyn & Jim from church helped give us some candy, stickers, and ribbons to bring for the kids in Ghana. In addition, since hearing about our trip, we've been receiving packages from various people wanting to send stuff to Nalerigu. We'll be bringing letters from a class of 4th graders in Missouri, art supplies, DVDs, and other small gift items.
Amara's mom brought us a very cool and expandable piece of luggage (tall, shiny black piece in the middle) that was able to fit most of the medical supplies.
At an Adidas warehouse sale, we were able to pick up matching caps to protect our noggins from the blistering sun for only $3 each!

It's scary what the internet can do! I was Googling some BMC Nalerigu phrases and came up with your blog. Then I realized that you are the folks I'm picking you up at the airport tomorrow morning. How strange!
We're glad you are coming to help out in Nalerigu. My wife, son, and I have been here for 6 weeks and have 6 more weeks to go.
We've got a blog at www.haunsinafrica.com you could check out but you'll actually be here before you get a chance to see it.
See you tomorrow morning... really early!
