Shipping items from POLAND to LIBERIA - share your ideas!

Help Liberia Foundation have collected typewriters, toys and clothes in Poland, and have been offered more.
Unfortunately they do not have the funds to ship these items to Liberia. They are sure that if they can find a solution, many people in Poland would be prepared to donate things to the school.
Please provide your suggestions on how HLF can get these items from Poland to Liberia for free or reduced cost.

Hi Anna,
The document attached with your post above indicates the following as the total contents of the consignment:
"Requested don Total: 21850 Books + 4 assets of encyclopedias + 50 Computers"
The inclusion of 4 sets of encylopedias and 50 computers might generate greater interest among schools in the region to share the shipping expenses for the container - provided of course, that these are also to be shared with the other schools.

A number of organizations that donate books and computers have been found over the past 12 months however many of them require money to pay for shipment to Zambia. We're not talking huge amounts, we are looking at $1,000 to $2,000 that would get things done or options to rasie small amounts to fund the costs.
