Day11 - To Kyrgyzstan with love

Today was the day! Just under 8000 lovingly checked shoeboxes from the last 2 weeks, were loaded into the container for their long journey to children waiting unknowingly in Kyrgyzstan. With around 20 strong volunteers to hand the container was loaded incredibly quickly and all the hard work was rewarded when the last box was slid into place.
Here's the story of the morning in photos.

 The cab appears through the double doors and reverses into place.
Many of the volunteers continue checking as the container is ready to be loaded.
