comfortably in the midst of household goods and furniture, were the shoes on the long trip to Paraguay. Here they arrived very late. Because of the dryness of the container was stuck somewhere along the way, until at last the long awaited rains are recharging it navigable for container traffic made. A "river replacement bus service" has not been set, unfortunately, during the long dry season!
In Paraguay, you just have some delays . Accept Also, my Christmas present is still on the road, although the month of March is almost over!
are until the arrival of the container went into the country for several months and when he finally arrived in late February, we were able to use the donation is no longer for the planned Christmas event, as the Easter period had already moved suspiciously close.
spontaneity here, however, quite normal and most of the event or events are not always more than one week lead time. Who's going to be able to keep even without a timer in your head, if not within the same week the announced event is taking place?
My favorite intern Vanessa (Vannes), which just an internship in the Art School of Nueva Vida and I do on the editorial board of "www.farmland-online.com", was quick to point when it came to organizing the sports event was brave and drove the bus into a not so pleasant suburb of Asuncion, with the name of Zeballos Cue. There she met up with my old friend Ariel, who had agreed before Christmas to organize a sports festival in the small dinner "Carrita Feliz" of the Anglican Church. Together in a very short time, the program has been established and the message on the distribution of brand shoes spread like wild fire in the neighborhood. On the last evening organized VANNE and I just before closing time for those other awards winners of sports events, which should fit any of the shoes and exactly two weeks after the arrival of the container was on a beautiful Saturday, the show go off already.
Many small dirty children's feet were brave in the boiling hot asphalt of the sports ground against each other to the benefit of luxury shoes to come to protect against blisters when you play. Es wurde ordentlich geschwitzt, sowohl beim Fussball, als auch bei den Geschicklichkeitsspielen, die wir uns ausgedacht hatten. A Bible verse in the form of a puzzle, was the last discipline, which had to be passed. be pushed, since the time fly went by, had lunch before the awards ceremony.
was hastily eaten, the view from the richly appointed gift table to turn, which was then subsequently distributed the same. Beaming with shoes, balls gifted and other little things, the children left the building of the Anglican Church. Only a small boy was plenty unhappy that he had received a dinosaur and not a ball! Fortunately, even a replacement ball was found who was also happy. All in all, the event was a resounding success. Since
also had the shoes in the larger sizes to find a buyer, we gave the volunteers of the food for the poor as a thank you for their commitment ultra-modern sports shoes. Who will help so much for free, must also finally get something!
then drove VANNE and I have done with the wonderful feeling of a good deed back home.
