In extra speedy fashion we were pleasantly surprised that only 1 week after arriving into port, the latest container sent by members of the Burlington Rotary Club was released. This was truly a miracle to happen so quickly as the mounds of red tape usually delay a containers release by weeks and sometimes even months. A short box approximately 20’ long was packed so tightly not even a mouse could have found a place to rest in there. Loaded with tables, chairs, file cabinets and school supplies.

John and his right hand man Ermis assist with unloading4 hospital beds, IV poles & a very heavy dental chair for the clinics, items needed to set up the beauty trade school, tools for the wood working shop and lots of brand new toys including boxes and boxes of small Lego kits too numerous to count which will make many children happy this Christmas. All the purple boxes are lego kits...can you believe it? In front of them are hundreds of cases of "Nourish" donated by Campbells Soup which provide a person complete nutrition for an entire day.Thank you so very much to all the donors, and especially to Cam Rothwell for co-coordinating the loading and shipping of the containers from Rotary which has furnished most of the schools, clinics and trade schools set up needs.
