For donations, please bring canned goods (pull tabs or easy-tear packaging); biscuits; oral rehydration salts; a kilo of rice; sanitary napkins; rubbing alcohol; vitamins; soap; bottled water; flashlights (dynamo flashlights); batteries; candles; matches; banig/mats; tarps (for shelter).

You can also donate money for things like IVs and IV meds, body bags, and syringes for medical missions.
