Donations and Discounts!

Global Capacity has been offered dental supplies and discounts on outdoor gear and electronics to be used in Rwanda:

Dental supplies. Dr. Donald Marks, my local dentist, has donated 108 toothbrushes and 24 tubes of toothpaste for me to bring to Rwanda! I have also scheduled a training session with him, at his request, to learn about how to teach the Rwandese people about dental care.

Discounts on Outdoor Gear and Electronics. Two vendors, Mt Nittany Outfitters
and Appalachian Outdoors, have offered me substantial discounts on gear and electronics, which I will use in Rwanda. Products include a large hiking backpack (to be used as my luggage), hydration system pack, padded backpack for my laptop, GPS System with African maps, and videocamera.

If you are interested in donating any supplies to be used in Rwanda, please email me at heinzmatthew@gmail.com.
