When I say people came to help.....they came from central Indiana, Louisville and Hopkinsville, KY, Tupelo. MS, Smyrna and Franklin, TN...many of them drove 3 1/2 to 4 hrs just to come and help. It was so hot up inside the container that we were thankful we had enough people to trade out teams and let them "cool off" every so often. Dave King and his son Josh....representatives for CAM...the organization we ship through....we so patient as it took much longer to load this container. We shipped 600 sheets of metal roofing plus about 40 pieces of large shelving that will be used in our warehouses in Haiti. We had 4 stations set up where teams of people were sorting and sacking clothes, shoes, etc.
What a joy to have so many be such a part of this. Our only regret is that we didn't put out a sheet of paper for everyone to sign....so many we didn't know....so that we could thank them personally by email or card. A huge' thank you' to all of them plus those from Danville who made a couple of trips to bring clothing they had collected. We are asking the Lord to richly bless you and your efforts.
