Supplies update

So my friend Ernest and I are hoping to bring much needed supplies to the hospitals in Nepal. I have plans to distribute the little supplies we have to Shanti Nepal, Kanti Children's Hospital and Patan Hospital. Today we got another 5 boxes of supplies from the Toronto Western Hospital. Special thanks to Orly there who collected items for donation.

Problem: I just found out that Qatar airways only allows 20kg limit. So I'm going to have to beg them tomorrow to allow me more luggage. I'm hoping that this will be fine. Please keep this in mind as a prayer item. As well, I just found out that another contact has surgical equipment which may be extremely valueable to the people in Nepal. I'm thinking that whatever we can't carry we'll either ship or pay the extra fee to fly it with us. Namaste.
