It Is Headed For Cuba!

The container we have been packing with surplus medical equipment and supplies is now on its way to Cuba! The men finished packing the container, and had it loaded onto a flatbed trailer to be taken to the CN Rail yard in Winnipeg. In Winnipeg it will be put on the train and sent to the port where it will be loaded onto a ship.

We have put a lot of time into getting everything packed into the trailer. At the last minute we were still short of equipment to fill the container. Since we heard that they do not have toilet paper in the hospitals in Cuba, we added 30 cases of toilet paper to the load. That filled the container right up to the back door.

With us being in Thailand, I was not there to participate in the celebration of seeing the container head down the road beginning its journey to Cuba. Still, I am pretty excited that it is on its way. Now, we will have to decide if we will do another one next year.

Here are a few pictures of the loading.

You can see a few cases of toilet paper. the garbage bags are filled with used clothing and are used for packing material.


Here it is going onto the flatbed trailer.
