Does Shelby plan to send another container to Mali?
We sent our fifth container in November 2007. On the Mali side it arrived in January. We want to wait a little longer before sending the next container due to a need for storage in Mali. So yes, a container will go out form Shelby late spring to summer 2008. Fee free to send those boxes on to us as you pack them. Pray for the specific items needed in Mali to come to us - even before we know what the items needed will be.
Does the Shelby team still do speaking engagements?
We have been so blessed in sharing the project that as long as God permits we will speak to churches, ladies groups, hospitals, etc. We are actually traveling to California at the end of May to speak to an area ladies group, a church and a local group.
What can we do?
Check out the children's pages for some new ideas but we can say that 2 things anyone can do:
Collect items for Mama Packs - read more here
Send money to CMA Headquarters in Colorado Springs, CO specifically earmarked for Mali Hospital. This covers items that must be purchased along with the cost of shipping sea containers which is about $13,000 a container. Keep track of activity in Koutiala by visiting www.koutialahospital.org
