CWAF along with the help of many others filled a 40′ container and shipped it to Cambodia. The container was filled with everything from bicycles for the children at M’Lop Tapang to ultrasound machines for Angkor Hospital for Children. Here are some the emails to CWAF:

CWAF, the container! Thank you! David and I had a seriously mad day at port. I can now totally understand why you were stressed filling it, so much stuff! We are still sorting it out as it got dark and we only half emptied. We already have received great stuff and the bikes were a huge bonus! Will email you more when we have it all unpacked. Warm wishes, Maggie M’Lop Tapang, Project Director (www.mloptapang.org)
