Ted's first box

Mascot Ted (of Bear Garden fame - see earlier post) was on hand to personally supervise the arrival of the 1st shoebox into the warehouse on Friday. This was a very significant moment as it is expected that Ted will accompany this and 9,999 other boxes to Kyrgyzstan in the next few weeks.

Ted was also to be seen at home getting shoeboxes ready for Monday's start at the warehouse.

He's ready - hope to see you there!
