Charita with children at refugee center in Poland.<\/strong><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

We have arrived in Poland! Jerry Morgan arrived yesterday. Charita and I arrived early this morning. Charita cleared passport control, but I hit a snag. I was sent on some wild goose hunting and ultimately solved the issue by creativity and cleared Polish Customs. After clearing Customs, we were met by Jerry Morgan, Taras, Andre, and Tanya. After that things became a blur of activity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Updates on Shipping of Containers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our first objective is to secure the direct, uninterrupted shipping for our containers arriving from the United States. These will be the containers that so many are working hard in preparing for loads in multiple locations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charita says we have FOURTEEN <\/em><\/strong>containers either on the water or scheduled for loading this week! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tomorrow — Tuesday, March 15 — we have 2 containers loading in Columbia, TN, and Perrysburg, Ohio and one air cargo load of aspirin and baby formula being loaded in Columbus, MS. So tomorrow is a full day in the States! I also received word today from Jana at HHI that they are ready to load their first container of Family Buckets from the Nashville congregations. Charita will schedule that ASAP! There are several others who are emailing and letting us know that their collections are growing and we are nearing other loadings in other areas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What am I to tell my daughter as to where we are going? I don\u2019t know where we will go.<\/p>young Mother in Poland Refugee camp<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Meetings & Visits in Poland <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Today, only hours after arriving, we went to a number of meetings and visited one refugee center. This refugee center is a place where hundreds, if not thousands, stop and spend a few days before traveling on to their next unknown destination. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
