Greetings and Happy Friday!

August 26, 2005

Greetings and Happy Friday! Here are some highlights of the past week:

  • Container arrived and cleared customs in South Africa
  • Container heading for Mexico was shipped off
  • We are preparing to send our first container to Malawi

This story comes from Lieutenant Bernita Johnson, a Public Health Officer of the Humanitarian Operations Center Stationed in Kuwait. We sent them a container of wheelchairs that they are now distributing in Baghdad, Iraq. Please note her hope for more wheelchair shipments, which we hope to provide, with God’s blessing and your support:

Sir,

These are pictures of Iraqi citizens receiving wheelchairs in the central region of Iraqi near the town of Diwaniyah. Thank you so very much for the shipment of wheelchairs. Please look forward to receiving more pictures once the shipment that arrived in Baghdad is distributed. Also, I am receiving calls from military units from all over Iraq requesting wheelchairs from future shipments.

Again, thank you for your caring and compassion,

LTC Bernita Johnson,
CA, Public Health Officer
