One of the crates was specially built by Morris for some of the items. He bought the lumber, sawed it and nailed it up. I directed that that crate be disassembled and the lumber saved for future projects by Morris while he is there. Grandson Nathan enjoyed removing screws from the crate with a power drill.

A lot happened in La Palma this week, as you have read in previous blogs. It is significant to see one of the results of the shipment--help for the handicapped in the region who cannot help themselves. Here you can see the wheelchairs that were stored as a result of the shipment. Many of those cannot get good ones like we throw away in our country. These will be very much appreciated.

Lots happened today. The 18 crates were emptied and the contents stored for distribution. Little Andrea died today, so her suffering has ended. She lived longer than expected and fought a valiant fight for her life. We took her on a long bus ride in September 2008 so she could see the ocean. She enjoyed swimming and playing in the water so much! Her mother and grandmother have been good friends to us. I loved going to their cafe early in the morning when the other coffee shops were late to open. They had a large percolator and made really good coffee. We know she will be missed here, but she has been welcomed into heaven.

These 18 crates were left at Little Rock AFB a couple weeks ago and are now at the military base in El Salvador. Wednesday two trucks are scheduled to take them 'up the hill' to La Palma for storage and/or distribution. Thanks to the USAID program called Denton program for the transportation to ES via USAF.
