I was thinking the same thing Tom, Maybe if we can get some place to
donate the shipping and possibly packaging materials, we could buy the
stuff outright in the states and not have to worry about shipping
charges. I'm pretty sure we could buy a lot more here than in Turkey.
especially without having to worry about shipping costs. I might be able
to pull some stuff I've had packed up for a while which was going to go
into the Jambalaya boxes to ship out with the used stuff other people
are donating. When we get some points set up for shipping, let me know
so I can get the stuff collected.
