Donations are on the move!

As Doreen says....if you have traveled to Haiti, then you know what a 50 lb suitcase feels like. We are blessed to have wonderful donors who provide us with supplies and equipment to take to the school each and every trip we take. However, a suitcase carrying books and crayons can reach 50 lbs pretty quick!
We have so many fabulous books and heavy equipment that we sadly have to sort and keep in our storage room to wait for the next go round. Enter a giant container.....

We are pleased as punch to announce that we were given access to space on a container bound for Haiti! The container, which will travel by sea to its final destination, contains valuable supplies and new kindergarten desks and chairs.

Below are some pictures of us packing and readying boxes for their long journey. Look how many! So exciting!

Our prayer request is that the container arrives in good condition and has no problems passing through customs and into the hands of those waiting in Haiti. Fingers crossed that the container beats our August trip so we can use the supplies and furniture to ready the school for the 2011-2012 school year!
