The Next Container

We are in Belleville, Illinois visiting our sponsoring congregation, taking care of personal business and having a great time.  We just are not getting to spend enough time here.

The next container is leaving from here.  We are doing backpacks loaded with school supplies to help as many children as we can in Honduras.  There is also many things to help Casa de Esperanza on this container.  Things like shampoo and lotion.  With 19 kids, and 12 of those girls, think how much shampoo we use. 

We were at the building this morning unloading some of our things for the container.  Matt and Nicole had packed a box of Haley's things that they decided would not fit into one of their six suitcases.  Nathan and Julia had cleaned out Camille's closets.  The little girls at Casa de Esperanza are going to have some nice clothes coming their way.

It was exciting to see what was happening with the container.  Peggy Thompson was packing sheets and towels brought down by Maria Phillips.  Vicki Fager showed up with some backpacks.  There are several boxes packed and several full backpacks sitting around to be packed.  After tomorrow, we hope we have a blockmaker to go on that container.

If you are interested in helping fill this container, you have the rest of this month.  Shoot me an email and I will tell you what you need to do.

Thank you Fairview Heights for this container.  I know it is a lot of work and a lot of headaches.
