Generous People Of Kwajalein

I was totally exhausted today from all the running around of the past couple days prepping to get ready to take off for another month.  Plus, we had to make sure that we have enough food for six adults for three of those weeks.  

However, this evening, TC and I were sorting and storing all the items that Kwaj folks want to share with people in the outer islands - clothes, shoes, books, school supplies, toys, toiletries, etc.  THERE WAS A LOT OF STUFF.  We filled up the V-Berth and the starboard ama.  It is awesome.  By the end of the night, I wasn't feeling tired, but excited.  I can't wait to see the looks on people's faces when they get their gifts.  

This is the starboard ama.  It's a full size berth and it's packed with donations.  There's also more on the ground (not visible in this picture).

This is the passageway from the starboard ama to the main ama.  Filled with clothes!

TC laughing as we sort through things in the main ama.

We got five boxes of books from Bess' uncle.  Yay for reading!

This is the V-Berth.  Underneath all of this stuff is a double bed.  We're going to be able to give whole islands new wardrobes.  

I can't wait to return and post pictures of the people who benefit from the generosity of the wonderful people of Kwajalein.
