Christmas 2005 Collection - Let Jesus be Alive in us!


Dear Friends,

Hello again!

We are now targeting to collect a 20 foot container of goods for Cambodia.. If you feel you are able to help by collecting and packing in your own small groups, be it work friends, church friends or neighbourhood friend, please contact me.




Your assistance is this project will be invaluable.


Guidelines for Group Leaders
1) All goods collected must be brand new. The customs there charge duty and taxes for second hand or used items.

2) Packing of goods must be under the group leader's control. ie leader must ensure that goods are tightly and well packed before it is sent to the freight forwarder for storage till we have accumulated enough. I will give the address to interested parties who can do the collection.Please pack efficiently because the freight is expensive and is taken care off by sponsored money ( only partially raised).

3) A 20 ft container takes about 200 cartons of size 2 ft by 1 ft cartons.

4) Please see attached shipping mark that has to be pasted on 2 sides of all cartons. Please only fill in the description and leave the rest blank.

5) Description should only state - 'mens' , 'ladies', 'childrens', 'toys', 'shoes', 'winterwear'.
Fill cartons with only 1 generic item. Do not mix mens and ladies wear or mens and kids wear together into 1 carton.
The nuns do not have the manpower to sort when it arrives in Cambodia.

6) There will be a cut off date for collection which will be comunicated to the group leaders.
Target delivery hopefully before Christmas ( sometime in Sept/October 05)- so we can together send a message of Hope and Love from us in the name of our Lord.

Item needed
educational toys, cassette recorders, stuff toys etc
kids wear
shoes - mainly slippers
ladies wear - NO shorts or tank tops
mens wear
winter wear
underwear
If you have any queries please email me.

Like Mother Theresa says :
"We cannot all do great things but we can do small things with great love."

God Bless,
Mill

Dear Frens,

A 20ft container can take about 200 cartons. Right now we have collected 43 cartons.

We can do with some help in collection of stuff toys (newish), clothes (new), warm things (newish), out reach toys like footballs and badminton rackets (new).

Thanks.
