Many Thanks

In case we haven't got a hold of you personally, email or phone, thank you very much to everyone who has contributed to our cause in person or online through the donation site.  It is very humbling to receive donations from people you know and also from several people you don't know.

Many thanks to the people and organizations who have donated items to send down as well.  This includes Source for Sports for donating soccer balls, Bernice for the touques for the little ones, the Salvation Army for the school supplies and the many people who provided broken crayons that have been cooked into the muffin crayons.  The ten duffle bags that we are taking will be bursting at the seems and we are already shifting the weight around so that no bag is over the 50 pound limit.  The best way to test it is to put one of the smaller kids in an empty bag and if the other bag is much heavier than than the one with the small child in it, then we need to be sure its not over the limit.  (no, we don't close the bag with the child in it).

When we get down there expect a lot of pictures of kids wearing toques, kicking soccer balls while coloring.
