If you know the recipient of the medicines & sports equipment & it is A CHARITABLE ORGANISATION, get them to send you a letter explaining that you are making a donation TO that/those charities of these goods. Airlines (despite how they are often painted) can be humane
irate: :ermm: & will allow medicines & donations free passage
IF they have the space.
I have done this for Integracion Juvenil in the past, I have organised a similar letter through the British Consulate & a few weeks ago I organised one from Centro Medico for some Gastric Feeding bottles - ALL the airlines & Tour companies contacted were MOST helpful & supportive.
If you already have the names at the organisation you have chosen, the process of getting a letter may take just a day or two. The obtaining of permissions from the Tour Company/airline at YOUR end should not take much more than a day or two either ...... hence 7/14 days should see you with the agreement in place.
Good luck & 'Thanks' on behalf of whomever your chosen charity/hospital is AND of course, the FINAL end users/recipients!! ~ Grahame.
