For some reason several websites changes to 33166 which it was the old one... it should work but the 33195 is a change my shipper told me to use since last year. |

Amazon has an interesting selection of "powdered" food products. I was looking for and found powdered eggs. What I had never heard of before was powdered butter. I guess Nacho can let us know how it tastes.  |

will be first time to me. In fact I didn't know that exist ( nor eggs or butter )...
guys after the list Tom forward me, I think there is a lot covered to maybe 4 to 6 months
From the list maybe some more Powdered whole milk, chocolat and oats, cereals, some ketchup, mayonnaise, and some other sauces for salads and meat ( just some, no need big quantities )... some more macarroni/spaguetti, and maybe tomato paste to prepare spaguetty sauces... dunno whatelse you want to add. I think cooking oil and toilet paper is pretty much covered. Rice, Beans and weath flour seems to be covered too ( although we are unsure about how much of regular and how much of leavingin/self rising are on package )... dunno lentils and chickpeas. Regular butter, sea products in cans is good too
keep me posted about tracking numbers to keep updated to the shipper. I will be trying to get everything shipped at the same time at next ship departure... pretty sure won't be this week ( I don't think packages will be delivered on time ) but next week. Then I should get everything in one month after ship departure.
AND REALLY APPRECIATTE THIS!!!

here some videos of ppl eating from the garbage... THIS IS FOR REAL... There is a family every afternoon at 5 pm in front of my building waiting for our building garbage. They eat what they get, and feeds to his son... have the pic, but the storaging of the board seems to be full and can't be uploaded www.youtube.com/results?search_query=gente+en+venezuela+comiendo+de+la+basurareally this was never seen before, not even homeless had this need and here is some vids of the ppl lined up in front of suppermarkets to get the regular and basic food. PPl begins to wait in front of supermarket sometimes at 3 or 4 am to be sure will be the first to get it, and before supermarket gets out of stock. I have beeing on these lines of ppl for couple of hours... and sometimes the stock is not enough so loose my time www.youtube.com/results?search_query=colas+de+gente+en+venezuela+en+los+supermercadosthere is ppl ho HAS DIED in stampedes when supermarkets open their doors, trying to get in first. We have got also shootings on these lines because when some Food mafia wants to get the food to be sold on black market they don't care anyones life. Thank's God that hasn't happened in my area... yet. There is another kind of Mafia, controlled by the militars, and is the one what distributes the food allong all the suppermarkets. That food reachs the black market before get into the supermarkets. That of course contributes to the poor stock everywhere. The ppl who sells the food on regular price ( prices stablished by the goverment ) and then resell it into the black market is called "bachaqueros" ( dunno why or what it means, because "bachaco" is locally a kind of Ant ) You can try to search vids in english from USA TV channels reporters, also BBC and some other countries. Sometimes they have to make the reports hidden because when National guard or police notice they are recording, put them on detention and deports them out of the country without the data recorded. There are two big problems... no food and not enough money to buy any food. Everything helped and pushed by the black market mafias... and goverment of course. They have stolen the food productions from factories and have them controlled or stolen the factory itself. Lot have close their doors helping on the poor food production. Added to this, the goverment corruption got them out of money, so there is not enough money to buy imported food or products |

on a side note... the supreme court ( which is controlled by the goverment ) has eliminated the national assembly ( congress ) functions ( which the opposition won in dec 6 2015 ) taking their power and gave more power to the president... thats a selfstrike

Good idea on the Amazon/Walmart thing Tom. I've been pondering the shipping cost. Sent DynoDave a message (I think) to see if we can get together w/some others from this area and ship a large box. I would like to donate also. From the area Sterling Hts, Michigan) DynoDave. Let me know what you need. Henry Henry, I messaged Dave about trying to get something going from this area and splitting the shipping cost. My wife gets stuff pretty cheap and we have some stuff here we don't need. Haven't heard anything back, hope my message got through. |
