Another shipping container leaves for Africa


I had promised to keep you up-to-date on the African projects, so .....

Yesterday we loaded a 40’ container bound for Africa. And just in time- it was a beautiful day and about 80 people turned out to help load the container. One day later and we would have been working in snow!

The story was the lead on WNEP at 5:30 yesterday evening, channel 13 at 5:00 and in the Times Leader today.

Things are going very well - the promo video is being translated into Japanese and will have a voice over taped March 15th.

You will definitely see generosity in action at the Grand Open House in June!! You are most welcome and invited to attend. I will leave on April 19th!!
