   I run a project called The Pencil Project. http://www.thepencilproject.com

   Shipping is defintely an issue but can you break the big shipment down into about 4 or 5 smaller ones? If you are nonprofit, you can accept donations for shipping. Would a local business sponsor your endeavor? Sometimes they will do it if you can swing a local newspaper to do a small story on the company’s generosity. (good PR for them)

   Someone told me about an "M" bag. Not sure if every post office has them but you may want to check at yours. May be less expensive.

   A good old bake sale to raise funds?

   Good luck and God bless you and your endeavors!

   Bless you sweetie.. I am right there with you except we are in Romania and NOBODY delivers here unless you are willing to sighn over your first born.. That looks about like our bill for shipping and we struggle with that as well. we just really have to collect money to cover that. I hope you can find a way. If you do send me a link please we could use it as well.

   I think the best way to transport those kinds of items is to find someone who is travelling there and have them carry it in their suitcase.

   Another option is contact larger organizations that ship stuff and arrange to use/rent/buy some space in their container.
