40′ CONTAINER ARRIVES IN ZANZIBAR!

Jun 10, 2016 | 0 comments

These are the people that help us unload and distribute the contents of the containers. Paulo, Danny, Ibraham, Elijah, James, Stephen, and (not pictured Joseph and Projera). This is a great team God has given to us. They are hard workers, people of prayer, and they love to have fun.

It all began about 10 years ago when a friend had an idea to ship medical supplies to Zanzibar. It was getting hard to carry what we needed in suite cases. Container #7 has just landed in Zanzibar. These containers have carried needed supplies and equipment for hospitals and clinics.

Some of that equipment was delivered just in time to save a life. They have carried 17,000 birth kits providing clean delivery supplies for midwives. Hundreds of wheelchairs, PET carts, crutches, walkers, shoes and others supplies for the disabled.

This time there are exam tables, birth kits, PET carts, wheelchairs, 10,000 CHaRA coloring books, crayons, 19,000 pounds of books, soccer balls and supplies for the schools of Zanzibar and a host of other needed items. Every area of our work supplies have been carried in these containers. This does not include the many containers of TOMS Shoes we receive each year. Most all of the items are donated. Ron and I have the privilege of giving! Thank you for making this possible. Your giving goes the extra mile!

Blessings, Ron and Carol
