The Last of the Donations Have Finally Arrived in Peru!

In March, St. Paul’s collected medical and school supplies for St. Clare School in Peru. Many of the donations were taken to Peru in June, when our three delegates visited. However, there were many donations that couldn’t be taken due to luggage restrictions. The thirty clarinets, all the medications, and many of the heavier, bulkier, school supplies stayed behind.

In July, St. Anthony on the Lake had collected thousands of pounds of donations to send to their sister parish in Peru. They had some extra space and offered to send the five large boxes filled with the left-behind items. Thanks St. Anthony’s! This is the type of container they filled when sending their donations.

St. Monica shared some good news via email informing us that she received the five  boxes of donations. They were inspected by the Peruvian Customs personnel and she was grateful that their little fingers didn’t remove anything from the boxes. Thanks again to all of our donors.
