We are grateful to our friends and supporters of the foundation who continually support this Balikbayan Box Ministry. This month's shipment mostly came from a family replacing their children's school clothes and supplies. Instead of throwing away some of the outgrown clothes, shoes and used school gear, we're shipping them to the Cebu mission area for distribution to those in need.
First step is sorting all donated used materials --- shoes in one pile, clothes in another pile, and school gears in another pile. | |
Next is packing them inside the Balikbayan Boxes (-thus the term Balikbayan Box Ministry) | |
Then bring the boxes to the shipper. Depending on the shipping company, some will pick the boxes us for extra fee. | |
The boxes arrive in the Philippines in 3 to 4 months. The contents are then resorted for distribution. | |
Here are some grateful church workers in Cebu trying on some of the clothes and shoes they received from the Balikbayan boxes. | |
And some of our student scholars trying out some of the clothes. They will then take the items to the mountain mission area for distribution. | |
Again, thank you for your support to this ministry. To find out about used items that are in need, click here. |
