24TH HELP HEALTH INTERNATIONAL

24^th Newport Scouts spent a Friday evening helping to load a shipping container which is being sent to Zambia as part of Health Help International�s overseas aid programme.  We helped to load all sorts of stuff like wheelchairs, false limbs, zimmer frames, printing equipment drilling machines and even a printing press.  It was really hard work and it took three hours.  Somehow we managed to get all the stuff in, even the bikes.

 

 

Ron Prosser of Health Help International said:

�It was really good to have your and your scouts help last Friday with the loading of the container for Zambia and it made such a difference. Do please thank the boys for their help.�

 

Whilst the container was taken to Bristol docks to start its thirty eight day sea voyage to Durban we were treated to hot dogs and drinks.

 

After the summer we are going to have an evening when Health Help International come and tell us all about what a difference the stuff has made to the people of Zambia.
