We are coming to Ecuador for a month around attending the IL conference, and want to bring a suitcase of new, sterile, medical supplies to donate to a local clinica in either Guayaquil (where we fly in) or Salinas, our first stop. My partner is a nurse at a large local hospital that regularly sends Doctors and nurses on missions to other countries and our donation box is filling up. We also are hoping to bring some sports equipaje, like balls, cleats and shirts from a local manufacturer for maybe a school or orphanage. Can anyone tell us where to take the stuff or who to contact in either city? Is customs going to have a problem with this? This is not medicine we are bringing, more like bandages, gloves, small, durable medical devices that any clinic would love to have.
Thanks!
John
