The team will leave for Laputta either tonight or tomorrow morning. It is not possible for us to help everyone with the amount of money we have collected. So we will focus on giving effective aid to about 500 people. Each person will get a care package containing the following items:
1 blanket
1 packet of biscuits
1 pair of slippers
1 tin of canned tuna
1 t-shirt
1 cooking pot

Each package is estimated to cost about Ks 5000-6000. If possible, we will try to use the remaining funds to build shelters.
