MongoliAid shipping day 2010 … these are the great days!
November 24th, 2010
On Monday 22 November 2010, Cairns based charity MongoliAid International Inc. sent 5065 blankets and other items of a medical nature, on their way to Mongolia from Bulimba in Brisbane. Wridgways Removalists once again kindly donated their expertise and resources, absorbing as much of the Brisbane-related costs as possible. A BIG thank you to Maureen Kelly, the Wridgways Export Manager for her nous and empathy to the cause, and to Jim McKendrick, Nathan Cronin and Luke McNicol who bravely tackled the task of loading 260 bags of blankets, 260 boxes of blankets, 40 boxes of medical journals and textbooks, and 50 pairs of crutches and walking aids. The shipment brings the total number of blankets sent to Mongolia since 2004 to 17500.
Our blankets will be placed into school dormitories and hospitals across the South Gobi province of Mongolia next year. The medical journals and books will be handed over to the librarian at the University of Medicine at Ulaan Baatar.
… and yes, MongoliAid is still collecting blankets!
