The Goal: Ship Container of hospital supplies to Cote’ d’Ivoire, West Africa
- Collect money toward shipping container. ALL FUNDS WERE RAISED!
- Collect needed supplies to fill 40 foot container. FULLY PACKED CONTAINER OF $250,000 in supplies.
- Get container into country safely and intact. After two months in customs, it was received!
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
It was shipped from Coos Bay, to LA, to the East Coast, to the Netherlands, and finally to Africa!
