May 16th: Suggestions on supplies

Suggestions from one of the contributors:

The items you mention like milk powder, ovaltine, milo, detergent and old clothes should be relatively easy to collect from parents. It sounds like it would be better if you had cash to buy medicines. Have you thought of taking hand soap as a cholera prevention measure? What about simple sulfa drugs, eg. sulphadimidine, sulphanilamide, to treat tropical ulcers? They should be cheaper than more modern antibiotics.
