Thank You for our clothing donations going to Nepal:
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your input and the help from your church community; the response was overwhelming. We packed the container with 340 boxes, which contained approximately 6,000 items eg. bedding, towels, duvet inners, pillows, warm blankets, and clothing for warm and cold climates, toys, hygiene products. In addition to the boxes, we had 4 wheelchairs, 15 walkers, 26 pairs of crutches, 1200m of anti-oxygen pipe and even a dental chair. The container was nearly full when it left for Kathmandu on 7th March.
Thanks to everyone who helped to make my venture a full success. The Nepalese people will be grateful for your donations.
I am absolutely chuffed. With your donations, my mission is now complete. Thanks again for your generous support.
Best wishes, Hellen
