A Giveaway At Casa

People nearly always arrive in Honduras with giving hearts and sometimes leave with only the clothes on their backs.  Sometimes, the stuff they are leaving to be given away, finds its way to my house.  I load it in the car and take these things to the warehouse where it can be incorporated with the things that arrive on containers and can be given to people who really need it.

Last summer, I was out of commission most of the summer.  I never got to around to hauling all of that stuff to the warehouse.  And it was overtaking me. 

I proclaimed I was loading it up and getting it all to the warehouse before any more time elapsed.  Marc had a better idea.  He suggested we give our employees first chance at it.  Our employees are obviously employed, but by the time they buy food, bus fare, and send their kids to school, there is not much left.

The kids and I hauled bags and boxes up to the dorm.  Even little Josue carried a few things.  Stacey organized it all.  And then took care of the giveaway.  There clothes, shoes, and toys, among other things.

Yesterday morning at 9:00, all of our employees were here.  The ones that were not on duty were dressed as if they had gone to town to shop.  Each person went shopping one at a time and were allowed to select 10 items.  Everyone was so excited about this opportunity.  The last one did not finish until shortly afternoon.

Each of our employees were most grateful for this opportunity.  Your stuff blessed them.

Now, I still get to haul the rest of it to the warehouse.
