This is what this is all about. A kit that would be shipped out to meets 
where people needed it.

We are down to identifying the objects in the kit, and, unless anyone 
has any other useful object to include in the kit (box), then, I will do 
an approximate cost so that it can be proposed to the BoD. Later, we 
would identify key regions to target/seed with the kits.

Cheers,

Marc
