Sonja, I am leaving June 6, but I suggest to send it because one pound will not cost much. I have a very safe address and I know the seeds will arrive safely. If you wish to send them here is the address:

Sonja, I am familiar with HELP International. There warehouse is not far from my house. I went there recently and hope to get some things over there in a freight to Uganda - but only if somebody donates to send the freight. We are willing to pay for our freight portion. Great organization. Glad that they helped you.
Sonja, did you ever get your package to the DRC? I am so sorry that I wasn't able to help. It got down to the last minutes. Maybe next time we can help you get your seeds there.
