Packing has commenced.
Our friend Paula came over tonight and we got much of our donations packed up:
10 Boxes of syringes
Alcohol wipes
Two giant bags of toothbrushes
Two cases of toothpaste
Clothes
Shoes
Art Supplies
Stickers
Balloons
300 glow in the dark bracelets (yeah!)
Paula is getting a 50 pound box of medical donations tomorrow. It's from a source called Medshare and they give medical supplies to aid organizations.
We still need to gather our hygiene kits from An Chi's classmates and friends at Imagine Wesley International Academy. The fabulous Mrs. McConnell has been instrumental in helping us not only with the hygiene kits (a 1 gallon baggie containing shampoo, conditioner, soap, tooth brush, tooth paste, hair brush, comb), but also with letters to the first grade class at Vinh Quang Primary School in Rach Gia. The other day when I was in class, Mr's McConnell was reading some of the letters the girls had written to their Vietnamese penpals. They were very impressive and heartfelt. I was so proud!
It's hard to believe we will be leaving so soon!
