Yesterday, 3-July, we worked more than 7 hours in our storage room in Dubai where we managed to accomplish a miracle; with the help of 8 volunteers we finally created order in the storage room !!!
Marcelo Taborda and our new volunteer from India, Neyo, loaded a car and took 15 suitcases full of clothes , shoes , toys , bed sheets , towels and sewing cloth to the CBC. Then they had to label each one of the suitcases...
Meanwhile, the remaining 7 volunteers and I, separated item by item in boxes for the garage sale that is going to take place tommorrow.
Marcelo Taborda joined us later to help us further; this day's work involved a great deal of lifting heavy suitcases from the ground floor to the 17th floor to store them inside my storage room at home and from mezzanine floor to the car, and later taking them from the car to the cabin crew airport... in short, TREMENDOUS WORK...
Solange, our SUPERWOMAN VOLUNTEER, stayed behind with me, up to 00.15 making sure all is ready for today's garage sale that will begin in a few hours.
I have to say that in 3 years that project exists never have seen someone so dedicated as Solange, not only doesn't need motivation, guidance or clarifications but also she has got loads of initiative and... not only does she share my quality of "LETS DO IT NOW" but she also has the "LETS DO IT PERFECTLY" attitude.
And I used to think I was a PERFECTIONIST...!
We also managed to sell clothes to our special customers worth of 210 Dirhams...
Mohamed, a cabin crew member donated 500 dirhams towards helping a parent get educated...
It's now 00:30 (Dubai time) and I can't even think clearly, our bodies ache due to so much physical work ...
The sacrifices one has to do to make a vision come true ...!!!
