Good Will Box -Completed

Post by pseudonym »

I have decided to make up a couple of what I call "Good Will Boxes"

These will be modular and fit into a ziplock bag then a see through plastic box

This is the hygiene part of the box:

Image

I have to add a flannel to it.

Image

The black item is a Poundland foldaway rucksack. The first aid kit is a quid from ASDA, I added some more plasters plus 8 paracetamol and 8 aspirin. One space blanket is included. I hope the rest is obvious.

Image

The food part will contain a bag of beans and rice, some tinned fish and water

Thanks for looking and any constructive criticisms will be ignored :mrgreen:

Anything else you think I need to add?

Feminine hygiene - type/size/quantity etc?

Thats a lovely thing to do, pseudonym!

Feminine hygiene ... without wanting to go TMI on everyone ... the most space-saving thing to do would be to have a couple of tampons in there. But not every woman/girl who needs feminine hygiene products can use them. Sanitary towels would be more inclusive, even if the women who normally use tampons hate them!

Many thanks I'll add some when I can. :)

Mash - I use it in soups to thicken them or as a filler to other meals.

The napkins are for cleaning the cooking pots / also to differentiate between the packs of tissues for toilet use. (If I have to issue these boxes out I'll assume the people needing them won't have a clue)


Thanks for the question - adding antiseptic wipes and washing liquid to list :mrgreen:
