October 5 - Repacking at Access Storage




On my last weekend before my trip to Samar, I am very grateful to Board Members PJ Pascual and Mel Capinpin, and to our dear friend Jowell Gaela, for taking the time out to join me in re-packing books at our storage facility.

The books BFT receivew are stored at Access Storage prior to their shipment to the Philippines. The books are in various states of packaging. Some are merely tied by string, some in plastic bags and the rest are in different sized boxes. Our goal is to re-pack these books into smaller boxes for easy handling when we load them into the container van, and ultimately, when they are received by Joy, our Program Administrator, in Samar.


Today, we finished repacking 85% of Room 1510...but there remains much to be done. If we could finish this room, and start on another (and bigger) room, then we would have maximized our storage space.


So we are reaching out for extra hands and more volunteers to help in the succeeding weekends. If you are available, please call our BFT office.
