There are a total of 15 suitcases in all, with each team member allowed to check two for free. After several discussions with WestJet,, the initial airline we travel with, the hope is that WestJet's "Humanitarian Materials" policy will allow the three extra suitcases to ride for free as well.
The donated string backpacks will be distributed to school children around Shirati. We plan on purchasing pencils, erasers, and paper for each one from a local shop in Shirati, the owner of which Jane and Terry have gotten to know over the past several Projects.
One more sleep!!
