In 2007, SCI member-participants (affectionately referred to as our "Blue Bag Brigade") in this program, took 156 "Blue Bags" overseas, up from 51 the previous year. Shipping these bags would cost hundreds of dollars apiece, and filling each bag would cost anywhere from $150 to $300. However, they are filled by chapters or individual members with medical, educational, and other relief supplies, clothing and toys, which are then taken to remote areas of the world by hunters who have planned hunts in these regions. The supplies are delivered directly to villages, clinics, schools and orphanages for villagers, doctors, teachers and caregivers to utilize.
To date in 2008, the rapidly-growing "Blue Bag Brigade" has already delivered 224 Blue Bags!
In the Past 2 years, Central Wisconsin Chapter has already sent 2 bags to South Africa with School Supplies for the children who desperately need them.
We hope to keep sending these bags filled with needed supplies so if you have plans to go to remote communities around the globe please contact us at, Central_SCI@Frontier.com to possibly take a Blue Bag to help improve the quality of life throughout the world. |
