Help Ship Clothes and School Supplies to Tanzania

Hey Everyone!

As many know, I'm always going around the world, trying to give back in whatever way I can! I just got back from volunteering in Morogoro, Tanzania. I was teaching and helping raise funds to finish building the school I was working at.

I want to continue helping even while I am home. I saw a significant need of clothes, shoes, towels and school supplies for my students and the little ones living in the community.

I know most of us have a surplus of things and when it gets overwhelming, we drop it off at Goodwill. But, instead, i'd love to collect contributions of the items listed and send it all out in a cargo shipment directly to Tanzania.

Im asking for funds to be able to ship out all the donations. The cheapest way I found is to send many items at once via sea transport from Miami to Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. I have been working with Air 7 Seas Transport Logistics and have been given an estimate as follows

Freight:

20ftx 20ft pallet, 1000 Lbs - Pick up from my home in Miami, Fl to Port Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania, $2025

Bill of Lading Fee, $50

Palletization (Shrink Wrap), $75

Cargo Insurance, $75

Once it arrives at the Port of Dar I must pay the custom clearance fee, estimated to be about $200-$300.

And then pay another $300 to have the shipment transferred to a shipping truck and taken 7 hours away to Morogoro. Plus be distributed within the community of Kidatu.

Getting the donations to the village I lived in becomes very pricey doing it alone but together we can make it happen! and what better way to give back than to giving to others whom are truly in need!

Items I am collecting:

1. Baby/ children/ adult

2. School supplies

3. Reusable Menstrual Supplies

4. Household supplies
