 Today
we have a ship in port that is leaving
tonight.
On
board are seafarers from eight countries
including Sri Lanka and Maldives. In
speaking with the guys from Sri Lanka I was
told their families are safe.
They
are grieved over the devastation in their
country. A request came for us to help
with children's clothing.
We
put a call out to our board and I went to the
Salvation Army. The Salvation Army
was very generous as were others in donating
boxes of clothing for infants and children.
We are happy to help. The photos
attached are of our van loaded for
delivery to the ship.
The
name of the ship is the Rosario. It
flies a flag of Liberia. Some of the
clothes will also go to Ghana in West Africa
where crew members say the children are so
very poor as well.
If
you need any more information please contact
me at 762-0026. We are not collecting
any more children's clothing at this time.
