The Container Arrived! THANK YOU!!

Coral Reef High School and The Early Development of Global Education (http://www.theedgeeducation.com/) teamed up for the EDGE Community Service Challenge 2009 to raise used clothing, school supplies, books, and many other necessities which were all sent to benefit the children in the orphanage. Thanks to the enthusiastic and caring students at Coral Reef High School, an entire 20ft container was packed to the brim! Incredible! The container arrived safely at the orphanage in late September, and the clothing and supplies were given out to 40 children, all excited to received "new" used clothing. In fact, Coral Reef High and The EDGE raised so many clothing items, we were able to distribute used clothing to homeless children outside our orphanage as well. Posted are pictures at Sunil's Home Orphanage just a few days ago when all the items were received. Countless hours were spent by volunteers collecting items, posting signs, and packing for shippment. *A special thanks to Amadeo at Afram Global for providing the shippment of all the items to India, Susan Bleemer at Catering the Event for the donation of all the bicycles and books, the students at Coral Reef High, and to The EDGE for coordinating this very special project. There are also 2 pictures of the packing process before the container left Miami. THANK YOU TO ALL WHO WERE INVOLVED!
