Subject: more pics plus ? more containers
Dear Carol,
We are in the process of unpacking the 16 large boxes that we obtained from
the most recent container. Today was one of the five Saturday mornings that
our Home Based Care staff give out clothing and food to the 2700 orphans that
live in our area (over 500 orphans per Saturday!). Many of the clothes that
were in this shipment and in the previous one are being given out, and I have
included some pictures of the orphans receiving the clothes.
I talked with Greg Pozzo, president of Harare Dawn Rotary Club, and thanked
him for all the help they have been giving us with these containers. He told
me that he would very much like to have two containers per year; one that would
be primarily for us (although they would still distribute about 40% on the
contents), and then another one that they would be totally responsible for,
including the cost of clearing (currently costing about +/- US $300. I am sure
that if there was just one or two or three "personalized" boxes for
us here at St. Theresa's, we would be able to get them also. So, however you
are able to help, everyone here is very enthusiastic and very interested in
seeing that these shipments continue. I know that it seems like it takes forever
for it to finally get to us, but we have received everything that has been
in each container, and have not had to pay ANY duty on it.
Once again, thanks to ALL that are involved in these shipments.
God Bless, Dick Stoughton
