Helping people is not as simple as filling an Humanitarian container with supplies and sending it off. A lot of ground work needs to be done and relationships need to be built on both sides to truly meet people's needs. Thank you for writing this. Thank you for trying to help. I hope that something positive comes out of this....

Nothing is simple and easy. Maybe they should have collected money instead and sent someone over to purcahse what they needed/wanted. People get a warm fuzzy feeling about doing something that they think is great with out looking at it from all angles that the receiver is looking at it. You are right about the used equipment. It would be like sending paper only written on one side to a school or pencils only sharpened twice. Thankyou for doing all you and Igor did to help make happen. You are a Blessing to many !! Good Luck. alan Wow !! Nothing is simple and easy. Maybe they should have collected money instead and sent someone over to purcahse what they needed/wanted.
