We didn't want to spend money shipping furniture, or things we could replace here. So we sent just the minimum, only things like books that couldn't easily be replaced.

We'd provide the needles and vaccines for immunization, but some districts wouldn't have enough money for operations. They reached nearby areas but left out remote areas. So you'd find mothers who don't even know about immunization.

We used to use the money made from Kinfolk Days, but that has gotten more expensive each year. It costs MAMA anywhere from $15,000 - $20,000 to pay for everything, including the entertainment and fireworks.
