For over a year we have been collecting items to ship to Malawi via container similar
to the one shown on left to help Gladstone and Alice Chonde, UCG members who run a clinic
in the capital of Lilongwe. The container is 40 feet long and will weigh 20 tons loaded.
One half of the container is allocated to our project, the other to another Church
who is helping a clinic in northern Malawi.
Many blankets, medicine, food, a computer, typewriters have been collected. The container will also take on much needed salt and bulk food items when it leaves along with all the medicine we can fit on it.
Because of various factors, the shipping of this container has been delayed, but we are given assurance that it will be quite soon--about the middle of October that it will indeed leave from from the St. Paul, Minnesota. The container is similar to the one shown on the left.
I'd like to ask if there are some office type items that you could donate for the clinic. For a fuller story about Malakia Clinic, click here.
Can you help us with some items you'd like to get rid and would like a tax deduction for????

If you have desks, file cabinets...file folders...anything that you would see in an office, this would be greatly appreciated.
If you can help out, please contact me at malawi@kubik.org. Or please call me at 317 216-0802. We would like it if you could ship the needed items to St. Paul, Minnesota close to the time the container is leaves so it can loaded without having to be stored. This is a wonderful opportunity to help with larger items because the US Government as part of an aid program will pay for shipping.
Thanks for your help! Contributions are tax-deductible. Please contact me for details. Also, any financial contribution will go towards alst minute purchase of medicine. We purchase medicine at 6% of cost, so each dollar donated will purchase about $16 worth of much-needed medication that will be used primarily for children.
