Crocs, Teddy Bears and More Crocs!

Genie one of our co-leaders, Nancy and Marty's husband Chand, helping to organize and pack the crocs

Two weekends ago some of our team gathered in the front lawn of our pastor's house to begin the ardous task of packing the hundreds of crocs that were donated thanks to our good friend Bert from church who seems to be connected to all sorts of amazing people. Bert was able to arrange a donation of about 700 Crocs of assorted sizes and colours for us to take to Cambodia. Unfortunately we only managed to pack about 500 Crocs as they do take up alot of space despite the fact they are so light. It's a good thing we actually didn't get the 1000 that Bert was encouraging us to order.

Our seniors at Rexdale Alliance also took the time to once again send another 388 teddy bears with us. We have a 'standing joke' that perhaps one day all the kids in Cambodia will have teddy bears courtesy of the Evergreens from Rexdale!

One of our co-leader's Genie did a fantastic job of organizing us all and some of our international worker friends joined in to lend a hand. We are looking forward to distributing these to the women and children who are affiliated with 3 of Ratanak's partner organizations: Aim4Asia, Daughters Cambodia and Hagar International.
