How Many 4X4s Fit Into a Ziplock Bag?

The South Peninsula Hospital, Kachemak Bay Family Planning Clinic, Homer Medical Clinic, friends and family have been been VERY generous in donating supplies for me to take to Haiti!  My mom even crocheted dish rags, baby blankets and hats.  In this photo I'm starting the process of taking things out of boxes and putting in ziplock bags.  Ziplock bags can be reused.  Only allowed two bags at 50 pounds max each. I hope there'll be some room for me to take some clothes and toiletries for myself =-)

I have never blogged before in my life.  But I thought this would be a good way to share my experiences while I am in Haiti volunteering with Midwives for Haiti.  So here's my first post!

I'm excited about my upcoming trip to Haiti next week.  I'm sure it'll be an adventure.  I'm still trying to figure out what to take with me.  I'm allowed 2 suitcases, 50 pounds each.  Tomorrow I'm going to the South Peninsula Hospital to see what people have donated in the box set up there.  That should be interesting.  The Homer Medical Clinic has already donated some things.  Homer is a very giving community.  I love this town!
