Action Ireland is pleased to report that the two containers left Antwerp on Monday and are on the high seas on a DHL ship heading for Durban and are due to arrive in Durban next week and will travel by road from Durban to Maseru the capital of Lesotho. We anticipate that the containers will be in place for the arrival of our Transition Year students in February.  The containers contain just over 45,000 items and the following is a sample of the contents.

•     An ambulance fitted out for mountain rescue.
•     The fixture and fittings for a ward of 20 patience at St Josephs Hospital Roma
•     A large supply of text books for Leaving and Junior Certificate students where the Irish syllabus  is studied.
•     Two pianos, guitars, tin whistles, violins, drum kits, a classical musical collection of over 200 CDS especially requested by Lesotho College of Education
•     Over 2,000 soft toys.

This is just a sample of all that was collected and we are very grateful to all concerned and in particular to DHL for their kind support.
