The container arrived early yesterday morning after some small delays at the port. The goods arrived all intact :)
As you know, the village has low hanging wires as such the container can only reach the main holding area and we had to use an additional 3 trucks and engage our part time workers to assist in the unloading process.
From the main holding area, the reliefs were shuttled to 2 different storage areas for easy access. The first is our existing office and ops hub, the second is our new streetkids! accommodation building.

Today the 40' container will be setting sail for Bangkok, we are expecting this cargo to reach us this friday/saturday.
Coming to a close, RADION now requires 10-20 volunteers to assist to help us load up the container with reliefs before its sent to Thailand. The loading is on 14th Feb from morning to evening.

Our annual relief drive - Project LIVES! had been a rousing success with all your kind support.
This annual relief drive not only aims to bring relief to Thailand but also to ensure our humanitarian relief operations are well oiled in the event of a crisis.
Our collection drive was split into 3 portions. School collection, Open Public Collection at Pan Pacific and Closed Corporate Donations.
Some pictures from our open collection drive at Pan Pacific over 7 and 8 Feb 09.
