People frequently ask me what we container in my transport initial assist kit. we tweak the contents of my container depending upon the destination, accessibility of curative supplies as well as foreseeable medical services.

Believe it or not, everything upon this list fits in to the sincerely small zipped container, with the exception of prescription drugs, which we regularly put in my carry upon luggage only in case.

Since most of my volunteer projects for The Global Citizen Project are in impoverished places, we devise to take this locked as well as installed chronicle of my transport initial assist container to all the destinations.
