Finally, on the morning of February 12th, the 40 feet container started to get filled. We brought 400 boxes collected previously from our collections centers in Abbotsford, Grand Forks, Delta and Vancouver. The boxes contained medicines in general, pediatric medicine, personal cleansing items, oral serum, towels, blankets, powder milk, formula, canned food, etc. |

| We learned that the container arrived at Puerto Cabello on March the 9th. The people from the Rotary Club in Venezuela received it; they created there an emergency center to help around 30,000 victims with the help of the military forces. The Rotary Club got a warehouse in the Naval base of Puerto Cabello to receive donations for the relief victims of this disaster. |
