- Equipment needs for travel between Central Illinois and Central America
Each time we travel by land to Central America, we will be taking enough equipment to build at least one radio station or radio production studio, plus as many computers as possible. PCP would be grateful to anyone who might loan or donate a truck for one of these trips. The smallest vehicle we could use would be a pickup truck, for some projects we will need large box trucks. One development organization -- Pastors for Peace -- uses twenty-foot Mercedes box trucks, which upon arrival are donated to nonprofit organizations and community groups in the destination country. Perhaps some donors would like to follow their precedent. Would you like to donate any of the above? Or have any other items you think we could use?
