Pack Day

What do we do on Pack Day? Have a look...but first a huge thank you to all our wonderful volunteers who came to help us pack for the upcoming Tanzania distribution! Watch out for updates!

SEE YOU TODAY FOR TANZANIA PACK DAY!

We will be packing Heavy Flow kits first. Here are some videos on how to pack...

Preparing for Tanzania

Preparing for Tanzania...

If you would like to help Maggie in Tanzania with the Dare pads they would appreciate any donations of these microfiber cloth packs of 10 from Carrefour. If you would like to donate please bring them to the next volunteer morning on the 4th November or contact Nalini for a drop off. We will bring them with us next month when we go for the distributions. 

We are also looking for any used bags no longer needed that we can use for our upcoming distribution. What we learned last distribution is that it is better to bring bags that we CAN LEAVE as they truly appreciate the luggage too. 

We are in NEED OF the IKEA Blue bags that zip all the way, as seen in the picture below. 

ALSO we are asking if anyone has any LARGE duffle type bags that they no longer need (see below). We would appreciate any donations of such. The ones on wheels but no extension handle are the best in terms of weight and portability but we will consider all ;-)

Tanzania

Tanzania distribution

Hi Ladies, thank you to those of you who signed the sheet expressing an interest in going on the Tanzania Distribution Trip next month. Tentatively we have dates for the week of the 11th or the week of the 25th. This will be a distribution only, no sewing as we are now working in conjunction with an existing Enterprise there. If you were not at the last volunteer morning but you wanted to express an interest please contact me. You would be responsible for your own costs and it will be a home-share accommodation set-up. We think it will be a few days in duration. Many thanks.

Mark your diaries...

Ethiopian Airlines

Hi lovely ladies, if anyone has any contacts at Ethiopian Airlines please let me know. We are looking at the best available routes, airfares from Muscat to Arusha and maybe Ethiopian is the best through to Kilimanjaro airport then land transfer.

Seeb trip

Seeb Trip

Ladies, tomorrow I am taking the machines for service to Abu Janan in Seeb and also stopping at the notions shop in Seeb high street. If you want to know where the shops are you can meet me in the Car park of the Sundus Rotana Hotel (opposite old airport) to leave at 10.30am. If you would like to join and follow in your car please let me know. 

Thanks.
