Cleaning in Montellano

Monday and Tuesday, several of us met at Clinica Ezell to clean out two of the large storage areas.  We completed about half of it in two days and have discussed meeting again, maybe in November.

This is one section before we started. The largest portion is of OR supplies that are used during the surgical weeks.

Rita and Cary counting and repackaging supplies.  Marta was never in one place to get a good photo!

Antonia looking at the supplies and inspecting expiration dates.

Also helping are Kathlyn, Maufer and Preston........you can see them in the background working.  They entered the data and labeled the shelves as we counted and sorted items.

It was not the cleanest that I have been in my life but we made the best of it!

Monday night, we went to a Pizza Hut and I had a fantastic salad!  Thank you Rita and Cary for allowing me to shower first!

This is one section of the storage room after it was cleaned, sorted and labeled.

This is some of the discarded items. Many were items that we never use on this site.

One of the national hospitals was called and they came to see if they could use some of the items. They went through the boxes and filled their ambulance. They were very excited at the quality and are sure that they will be able to use what they took.

There were also some other facilities that Marta was going to call the next day to see if they were interested in what was available.

Thanks to everyone for helping!  Marta was very excited over this project.  She and Antonia worked very hard and will continue to do so as time allows.
