The Box Drive Arives





After three hurricanes and MONTHS of trying, we are pleased to announce that the Box Drive is in the hands of the Creche and being consumed by our children!!!
The final count of supplies that arrived on October 21, 2008 were:
KIRKLAND/ENFAMIL FORMULA = 646 CANS
VEGETABLE CANS = 261 CANS
FRUIT CANS = 341 CANS
PEANUT BUTTER = 281 JARS
TUNA FISH = 409 CANS
BEANS = 147 BAGS
RICE = 143 BAGS
A huge thanks to all on the October Group Trip who helped with the endless loading and unloading of these containers on the way to Haiti and when arriving in Haiti. It was a MONUMENTAL TASK getting them to Haiti!
The kids were genuinely excited!
THANK YOU FOR CONTRIBUTING AND FOR MAKING A DIFFERENCE!!!

Hi there Bergstedt family, thanks for the encouraging comment on my blog. It feels soooo good to be in the last leg of the Haitian process. We spent 8 months and 1 week in IBESR. That was horrible. It just feels so, so, good to be heading into the final stretch.
