2 bags packed

Over the weekend we went out an purchased some things for Cassandra and her family. Tearfund provided a list of example items that would be suitable for different age ranges.

We purchased things like clothes, games, basket ball with pump for Cassandra, and for the family things like simple cooking utensils, a bed sheet etc.

We had a mild concern that we may have purchased too much but did manage to put it into the two bags. The idea of having the bags is so when they go home they can simply take the bag home with the things in it. Chances are that they will need to walk or talk public transport home.

The next trick will be getting this into the suitcase successfully - it looks like we will need to unpack the bags and I will re-pack them in the Philippines.

4 days to go!
