What we have to pack

Hi Team and All -
 
I thought it might help to let you know what we need to pack in 20 rubbermaid containers that we are taking to Haiti.  This is why we are pushing you to pack as MUCH as you can in your carryons.  Anything outside of your carryons you need to prioritize want you want to bring because we will probably have to leave some stuff behind.  That's just the way the dirt cookie crumbles.
 
We have decided we are not going to get team shampoos/soap and stuff like that after all.  Please please, get travel size of these because that will take up a lot less room.  Welcome to missions life, always changing things around.  If you don't read this then you and John McHoul (pastor of the church will be attending) will be really good friends.  In his blog titled Greenie report, telling about how they are conserving energy and helping save the planet he says "~~~I personally do my part by wearing the same clothes for two to three days and only bathing every other day or so."
 
What we have been asked to take in terms of donations (joy and or kacey please order these for us thanks!):
Three boxes of books
18 bags of Susette and Bills stuff
2 bags of soccer clothes
30 big bottles of lotion
65 pairs of shoes
Christmas Presents
3 Computers
Non-Christmas Gifts
 
Project Stuff:
Drill and saw set
Soil
Arts and Crafts Items
Medical Supplies
Beads
Gloves
Dan's painting supplies
Pinatas
Candy
Tubes, pipes, screens, spickets and other tools/items for the rooftop garden.
 
I am not saying we are going to fit all this, but the more we can fit the better.  The 18 bags of stuff for Susette and Bill can fill everything up.
 
Thanks
Lucas
