Packing the container
A big thank you to everyone who helped in the preparing and packing of the container, now on its way to Malawi.
Unfortunately we weren’t able to get the Land Rover into container, despite the valient efforts of the packing team, who tried all sorts of ways to it into a position where it could be driven on. Nevertheless we were still able to fill the container to the brim with hospital equipment, NRU supplies, school equipment and clothes.
