Trunks!

Oh, the decisions!  With airline limits on weight and number of pieces of luggage that can be shipped, hard decisions have to be made on what can be taken to Africa.  So far we have about 4 times more than we are allowed to take!  By the time we make notebooks with handouts for all 28 healthworkers for the training, add supplies they will need such as baby scales, baby seats for weighing, antibiotic ointment, aspirin, apron uniforms for each one, HealthEd Connect shirts, Oral rehydration spoons, crafts made by women in California to take to the women in Malawi, etc. etc. we are way beyond capacity.  Oh, yes, I almost forgot.  I think Jena Wight is taking 5 trumpets which we will also help carry.  And that doesn't even start on the list of things we hope to take to Zambia to the schools.  Ah, to have a private jet....but since we don't we'll just have to see how much can be stuffed into the corners of our trunks and suitcases.  Every little thing is duly appreciated!
