Feb. 16, 2010: News from PROJECT C.U.R.E. Houston

Last Friday, Feb. 12, 2010, we loaded a 40-ft. sea-going container for India. About ten people helped with the loading itself, plus hundreds of volunteers over the weeks who helped with sorting, testing equipment, paperwork, etc.

Lately hospitals have sent us TONS of materials, mostly boxed materials to be sorted. As you can see, we have filled the warehouse, even the aisles, with pallets of materials to be sorted. What you can't see is the 160 pallets that have been stored in off-site warehouse space donated to us. That's about the space occupied by a four-bedroom house.

A lot of the boxed materials were designated by the donors for Haiti. We are keeping these pallets segregated from the other materials. When we sort these pallets, we continue to keep the materials segregated. After the materials are boxed and palletized, the pallets are clearly marked HAITI and stored for the next shipment to Haiti. We are overflowing with material to be sorted, and we have plenty of space to store materials that have been sorted and boxed for shipment. At the moment we sure could use more volunteers to help sort, especially Tuesday thru Friday (usually retirees but anyone is welcome). On Saturdays we usually have volunteer groups of working people from churches, schools, workplaces, and civic groups.
