Something to consider is the cost of shipping. Several years ago (work,
that was 4 years ago...) we looked into shipping LEGO to Turkey after
one of the earthquakes. We ended up discovering all sorts of problems.
See this post from Selcuk (and some of the surrounding discussion):

But it is a good idea. A better way would probably be to find another
agency already planning on shipping stuff and send it along with them.
