What an amazing and intense two weeks these have been! As Judy wrote today: "CNN and UNICEF have concerns about oncoming rains .... shelters are of primary importance at the moment ! Little do they know what we have ready to ship! "
Another committee member sent out that at last count we were over 300 tents. And I know the scouts were sending some tents that hold 10-12 people. Whole families will be able to be sheltered and protected from the elements.
Wednesday (tonight) is crucial! We will need everyone available at Royalton to help out with packing and tidying up and sorting out what we have and what's ready to be sent in this container.
We are receiving daily updates telling us that collection boxes are overflowing again and are ready to be picked up. It truly is amazing how much stuff has been collected and the generosity of the people near (and sometimes, not so near) is truly outstanding.
Tomorrow is the very last day for donating and collecting anything. Two days left until the container is sealed and shipped off. Two days.... wow!
