And yet another container
on its way to Beirut, full of wonderful, useful things!
Again, how hard we worked together. We are tired, but we are very satisfied.
It was also our chairman Bert's birthday. We celebrated with cake and coffee and a nice dinner together at Nunu food & drinks in Schalkhaar.
Thank you, thank you, thank you to all the donors of money and goods!
Without you we would not be able to do anything at all as a foundation.
Special thanks to all the hard workers today: Joop Hoek, Bjorn Zieverink, Johannes Marinus, Charles Borst, Johan & Hermien and Jan.
The container will arrive in Beirut on the 22nd of October.
Please join us in keeping our fingers crossed for a smooth passage through customs.
We are regularly asked if we will be going with them to distribute the goods on the spot:
We have good contacts with other aid organisations on the ground who will do the unloading of the container for us. All of the items are labelled and all of them end up at the correct specified final destination, which includes 4 schools, a psychiatric clinic, a physiotherapy practice and an orphanage.
We ourselves go to Lebanon several times a year for a veteran's trip or to help with a project. You can follow all of this on this website and on our Facebook page.
We will also be posting photos of the arrival of this container and the distribution of all the items in it in the near future.
