'Not Just Tourists - Edmonton' was founded in January 2005. We are patterned after Not Just Tourists in the Niagara Region, a highly successful program that has been in existence for more than a decade.
We are a volunteer-based not-for-profit project that collects
surplus medicines and medical supplies for use in Cuba and other developing
countries. Persons
traveling on business or vacation deliver these much-needed supplies
to doctors or medical facility at their travel destinations. Utilizing a suitcase
enables
quick delivery of medicines and medical supplies that may otherwise be
considered not useable due to expiry dates or owing to environmental
sensitive
degradation
on conventional shipping. This method ships up to 10 kg in a suitcase
that is also left at the destination.
If you wish to participate in this project or wish to refer someone else
to us who may want to participate, please contact ‘NJT - Edmonton’.
Countries that 'Not Just Tourists - Edmonton' has delivered to include Cuba, Dominican Republic, Haiti, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Peru, Kenya, Madagascar, Mozambique, Nigeria, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda and Cambodia.
