Australia gives billions of dollars in foreign aid each year, but private donations add to that tally.

A Melbourne doctor and his wife who helped out after the Bali bombings have quietly been shipping container loads of medical supplies to countries in need.

The Marsh Foundation collects unwanted and excess medical goods sending them around the globe.

Clair Marsh and her doctor husband David have sent 43 containers around the world so far. 

They have even delivered an ambulance to Indonesia, and they are soon to deliver another one.

Many of these goods may have ended up in land fill in Australia.
