Our volunteers at the Hope Haven Warehouse are taking a break (having completed the assembly of 500 - 12” Hope Haven Kids Chairs) they are awaiting the arrival of a shipment of 500 - 14” Chairs (and the process starts over again). Frisky little tribe of dedicated souls over there, enjoying the camaraderie of “Service Above Self” - good JuJu (and great quality control in providing a well assembled little chariot for disabled kids). Looking for a project? Contact Nick Mascitelli (volunteer coordinator) nicamas@yahoo.com - get your name on the list…
PROJECT UPDATES
April - Cuaulta and Mexico City (team is now closed) - expect epic reports
Ecuador - Puerto Viejo (June 2nd through 8th) - our fourth distribution with the Fundacion La Vida (and Rotary Partners) in this curious little corner of the world. For some reason, some of the most challenging kids we have ever encountered (some serious tinkering and McGivering opportunities for you gear heads here). The Galapagos and the Amazon jungle await all you adventure bugs who are interested in extending your journey. Jump on this quick if your interested - we are planning to purchase tickets in a couple of weeks.
Mexico - Irapuato (no dates yet - but, if the planets line up - possibly the last week of June) Partners in Irapuato are legendary for caring for our team! State of Guanajuato is a hidden gem, many treasures nestled in these mountains. Interested? Get your name on the pre-project list today!
Philippines - This project may occur sooner than expected. Our Crackerjack Customs team is busily preparing documents to thread the bureaucratic gauntlet of the Philippine Government. As soon as we get a container on the water - I will be able to dial in a project date that you can hang your hat on…
Buenos Aires - A bit of upheaval disrupting our plans here folks. Still on the docket - but the jury is out… We are continuing to work with our partners in developing a list of recipients. At this point, I am inclined to leave this one in a state of suspended animation - my dad would say, “sicker cats than this have lived”. No projected dates…
There be other irons in the fire - but no calves in the chute. Hold your water there buckaroo - we will keep you posted as projects emerge.
SAVE THE DATE Now is the time to start thinking about grabbing your tickets to this years Birthday Bash - Milkhouse Boys 50th Anniversary
Many thanks to all of our friends, associates, and partners who pony up each year to shoulder up with Hope Haven West in providing the gift of mobility to disabled kids around the world.
Long may you run,
Uncle Lonny
