We picked up the medical kits that we will donate!




















We picked up medical kits at Project CURE! And boy, what an amazing thing it was. The warehouse is HUGE. The medical supplies are stacked row after row after row. Most of the medical supplies come from upgrades (there is a newer and better out there, so why use the old one??) and from packs of sterile supplies in which one or a few items were used, but the others were not. The amazing thing is that there are 4 warehouses as big as this one in the US, and a number of collection centers, as well. All I can say is that I am glad that all this stuff is being captured so that it ends up in the hands of people who need it, instead of in a landfill.
The top left picture here is a picture of the type of medical kits we will be taking with us on our trip. We will take 4 of them - one for each village we will visit, and one for the folks in Dakar who are helping us out.


On another note, Project CURE won the big award they were competing for. They were selected by ColoradoBiz Magazine as the winner of their Top Company award for nonprofits.
