Tucson to New Holstein

So I drove a 26ft Penske truck from Tucson to New Holstein Wisconsin filled with Medical supplies for Tanzania. I have been in contact with Br. Fulmence from Namiungo Tanzania ever since I worked down there and saw the desperate need of supplies especially at the County hospital which is the only one in the district. When I was there they ran out of latex gloves which is absurd. After volunteering with the Lay Salvatorians at Southwest Medical Aid who collects supplies from hospitals, Clinics, hospices and more mourned the Tucson area. I talked to Cheryl Cecil who is running the program now. She was more than happy to load me up with a whole shipment of medical supplies. Hospital beds all the way to syringes. Amazing. I then drove that bad boy up to New Holstein while sleeping in the back of it on a hospital mattress. It was cold at night. But I made it. We then loaded a 20ft container with all the supplies and added coats and blankets as stuffers. Oh an 3 bags of stuffed animals for the children. It is currently on its way to Tanzania. It should arrive May 12th in Dar Es Salaam port. We will see.
