2 containers were released from customs last week: one full of wood for building more homes.....and another contained a shipment of food, sewing machines,27 boxes of toys from the Toronto fire department and countless number of milk bag mats.....This container was delayed in shipping for 2 weeks due to hurricane Sandy but it finally arrived safe and sound.Two containers and 2 mission teams during the same week...wow.
Thank you to the York CRC team who instead of taking their last day off to see the sights...spent their time sanding and painting church pews, organizing the soup packaging room and lending a helping hand to unload the container.
It was fun to race and see which row of volunteers working side by side with the local crew could unload by hand their skids of soup tins and buckets and barrels first.
This day was also the national day of Violence against Women in the Dominican Republic and the students from schools participated in a march through out the village.
