ABC Christmas Packages

We found out yesterday that we needed to go to the City today to get 75 Christmas baskets and gifts that will be delivered to the ABC children in our area. We left Santa Cruz at 0530 and proceeded to meet everyone in Chichi. We had 3 trucks and there were 7 of us. There is a lot of road construction going on so we were strategic in our plans because we did not want to wait while the road was closed. On our way to the City, Kemmel heard that the road was going to be closed from 1pm to 6pm while they used dynamite on the construction area. There was discussion on what to do and we decided to load the trucks as fast as we could and try to return before the road was closed.
This is the office that Health Talents has in the City. The first photo is of Josefina helping Violeta and Alejandra wrap presents. There were a lot of packages left to be wrapped and Josefina jumped in to help. They were very busy so the photo is blurry. Each ABC child will receive a present.

The rest of us headed to the back to load the trucks. Each ABC family will receive a Christmas basket. The photo below is of Kemmel as he tossed the baskets out the door and then we loaded them into the trucks. The baskets are very nice and contain Corn Flakes, coffee, rice, cooking oil, black beans, hot cereal, punch, jello, a bottle of Coke, cookies and some pasta. I am sure that the families will really appreciate the gift.

The next photo is of the guys after the work was done. Juan is being silly in his purple shirt, Manuel is always there to get the work done and enjoys doing it, Gaspar is smiling even though he sliced his finger on the tape machine and he is very precise in his work and Tomas is always to even keeled and pleasantly does whatever is asked. I could not be working with a better team.
On our way home we saw Lisa's jeep that was parked near where she is doing her service. We talked about how we look forward to her returning to work with us. Tomorrow is another day........and another adventure :)
