Exciting times, Ladies and Gentlemen.
We have been running all week. In just two weeks, we will be receiving another 140 new students to the iWork Program. They are coming from all over the world. You say China? Right! Samoa? Yep! How about Vanuatu? Check. I told you, from all over! Some of these places they come from are VERY SMALL. Most of them will come with a small suitcase and that is it. No bed items, sheets, etc. No pillow. Probably not personal articles either. What do we do? We put together a Starter Packet for them. Pillow, sheets, blanket, toothpaste, toothbrush, detergent, TP, etc.
We have driven to at least four Walmarts and raided them for supplies. And don't forget the two
Costcos in the meantime...
