• First of all–well done! Unfortunately, extra supplies cannot be sent by mail. Import and shipping costs are prohibitive, and half of it would probably be stolen before it arrives anyway. Here’s what you CAN do: first, prioritize what you bring–1. meds 2. children’s chewable vitamins. Secondly, distribute the excess to fellow team members from your area (our office can provide you with contact information). Thirdly, if there are still meds left, send them by UPS to ISL. And lastly, encourage family and friends to send monetary contributions to Good Samaritan Missions, a non-profit organization, which will use the funds to buy needed meds on site.
