2800 People Recieve Goods

On our 2nd day working here we worked with Counterpart International to distribute a 40 ft container of goods that had been shipped from Salt Lake City. There was a ceremony and plenty of grateful hugs all around! 28 organizations in the northern part of the country gathered to accept the blankets, boots, hygiene kits, newborn kits, school kits, clothing. They in turn delivered the items to very needy people in the Donduseni area. One of the ladies read a poem of gratitude she had written to the crowd during the ceremony. She gave us the poem. After loading all the vehicles with the items we were gathered in a very humble room for a "masa", large meal. They were so grateful for our help. Met a Peace Corp volunteer there who wants us to come to his village to help with their school. Lovely lovely people.
