The Customs experience

We knew the large consignment of used clothes and cuddly toys had arrived in Tirana. All we had to do was go to customs and pick it up!!!

                           This is the final stage of the goods being released out of customs.....it took 9 visits, much paperwork, and a lot of sweat before the officials were satisfied to let us have our shipment.

But it was worth it to receive three large boxes of men's clothes and soft toys which had been donated by Dave's previous colleagues (now called Agrii)

This is a shelter for homeless men which is run by the Sister's of Charity which is Mother Teresa's order. They do a great service and would never ask for any help, but were very gratful to receive some of the clothing that came from England.

                             Don't the toys look excited to be going to their new home in Vlore?

                                       The children at the orphanage weren't quite sure at first......

                                                 ......till Elder Willis started to play too

                                                 This little one was just too sick to play.
