Shipping container packed and on its way to Puerto Rico
By John T. Ryan
Peru – Feb. 5, 2020 – This morning forty-five volunteers, including 20 members of the Northern Adirondack Central School (NACS) Key Club, loaded a shipping container at the North Country Mission of Hope headquarters. Over the course of about two hours they packed the 40-ft container with school, office and medical supplies, plus clothing. In several days the container will arrive in Puerto Rico.
When the work was finished and donuts were served Mission of Hope Director Sr. Debbie Blow addressed the students describing the severe earthquake and storm damage Puerto Rico has experienced over the past several months. She thanked them and their advisors Cindy Hoff and DeAnn Gregory for volunteering and greatly expediting today’s task. She encouraged the students to consider becoming regular volunteers.
Sr. Debbie also thanked the 25 other volunteers who regularly load containers and assist with Mission of Hope tasks. They worked hard to today, but their smiles reflected gratitude to the students for making today’s task so successful.
