I am reaching out to you'all to see if you have clothes, toys, household items that you would like to donate - we will make sure that 100% of what is donated reaches the island's inhabitants and post regular feedback/pictures on our blog. We also need medicines, lots of it - malaria meds, antibiotics, pain meds (ibuprofen), and oral rehydration solution packets (in powder form).
After our first successful trip, we plan to "adopt" this island and help them out in the coming months and years.
So, if you do have 'clothes/soon-to-expire medicines/household stuff' that you wish to donate, please box them up and send them to:
Kris Arvind
8300 Lagos Place
Dulles, VA 20189
Just remember, you can NOT send liquids, aerosols, or batteries through the pouch;
everything else in a standard-sized box (~20-30 lbs) is OK.
Thanks so much!
Kris, Prasanna, Om, & Hansin.

Can you be more specific about what clothes you need. What about shoes?
ReplyDeleteIs is really hot all year long? Aso, what household items are you needing? I hate to send things that would just be in your way and not really wanted or needed.
Kids' stuff would be nice - shoes, sandals; and good (gently used) clothes of any kind. It is pretty hot out here, so light clothing is probably best. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteGreat Kris!!
