I almost got to drive for the military here involved in collections for CARE this weekend, but they had enough volunteer drivers - I do afterall have my newly acquired local driver's license?!

Here's an article & photo of what the collection cups look like - a "bossebaerer" or translated as a "gun carrier" (curious translation) Just a big plastic cup with a handle & a slot on the top lid usually locked up too...
