3rd Care Package to Zambia!


At last! Here is the photo of the box containing the items that were separated between Care Package #2 and Care Package #3. This package weighed in at a whopping 12 pounds 6 ounces!! The total cost to ship it was $82.50.

Chim has confirmed that the packages take a long time to arrive. As of Friday, Care Package #1 has still not yet arrived. With that in mind, I am afraid that more than likely, it will just be the uniforms that are distributed this month. Hopefully all of the boxes will arrive by July or August distribution. I will keep every one posted.

On that same note, many of you have asked me when the children will be getting their uniforms this month. May's sponsorship payments are not enough to purchase the uniforms, that is why it was determined that they would not be distributed until after the June payments are received. Once you all made your first donation in May, the child had immediate access to health care that was covered by May's donation. The remainder of May's donation is going to be put with June's donation to purchase their uniforms. The faster everyone pays their June sponsorship payment, the sooner the kids will get their uniforms. So far, I have payment for 10 children. That leaves 20 children that we are waiting for sponsorship payments for. I will let every one know once all of the payments are received.
