came across your blog and see you are heading to Ethiopia also and I see all the supplies you are bringing... Are you not limited to the number of bags you can bring? I am just beginning to prepare for my journey.
ReplyDeleteHey, you were down in my neck of the woods! I didn't think Crawfords ventured down this far. =)
ReplyDeleteGlad you got a bunch of supplies. I, too, wonder about how you are going to transport all that stuff...but I know you guys will have that all worked out!
We were able to fit the donations into 5 bins that meet the weight/size requirements of NWA. The plan is to divvy up the bins between those of us travelers with only one bag to check in (so that a bin counts as the second "claim" for each of us). Does that make sense?
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful you were able to meet these women and also collect donations. What a wonderful, life changing journey you are on! Love you so much, Mom
ReplyDeleteI am blessed by meeting you too! God bless your trip! Chelsea
