Friday was a big day for the Team Heart-Gisimba joint project. Volunteer Andy Willett has helped us nurture this relationship for 3 years and it has been wonderful to see his leadership guide appropriate donations. The septic again needed to be pumped and this was done during the early visit. Food supply was in acute shortage. Andy found a food supply warehouse -50 pound bags of rice, etc. and loaded up a truck. Next came the mattress project as 20 new mattresses was purchased and delivered. The art project for development as method for expression of healing and recovery with local artist is planned for later in the week with donations from Team Heart donors.
Trendy and much need underwear, for both boys and girls, along with the mattresses was supplied by donations from Nashua, NH through Michelle LaChance and from Boston residents and TeamHeart members past and present.
First time team member , Boston-Caritas anesthesiologist, Robert Hunsaker, resupplied the first aid room and worked with Gisimba nurse to make certain she has all needed.
Learn-to-read , chapter books in English and school supplies finished our donation. We have grown to love these children and enjoy watching them thrive in a loving and secure environment and so honored to play a small role.
