Help Needed for Kenya Medical Mission

Scoutmasters Stephanie Lanken and Brad Lanken will be going on a medical mission trip to Kenya in September. We invite scout family assistance if you are able to help. The mission will need various over-the-counter meds and supplies to stock a pharmacy. The medicines must have expiration dates later than 10/30/13. Because the medicines must be shipped by June 29, Stephanie would need to receive those by June 27. Medications needed are:

Visine or any allergy eye drops
Robitussin
Cough lozenges
Zantac
Tagamet
Maalox tablets
Maalox liquid
Tums
Excedrin
Aspirin 81mg and 325mg
Tylenol – adult, children’s and chewable and elixir
Ibuprofen
Naproxen
Benadryl 25mg
Benadryl liquid for children
Calcium with Vitamin D Ferrous sulfate 325mg
Multivitamins – children
Multivitamins – adult
Preparation H
Hydrocortisone cream
Triple antibiotic ointment

Always thinking of what kids like, Stephanie is also planning to take 10-20 soccer balls, deflated, to entertain kids who might otherwise be kicking rocks in play. If you would like to donate a soccer ball, Stephanie will be taking those in her personal luggage.

Finally, the cost for Stephanie and Brad is $3,000 per team member. Donations made to assist in covering trip costs are tax deductible. If you would like to make a donation, please print a form here: Kenya Mission Form and mail it with a check.
