Jared Peters and Deron Thorp travelled to Lesotho to oversee the unloading and distribution of the 17,000 pounds of medical supplies, educational supplies, clothing, and children's toys that were donated to S.H.I.P. Aid.. The shipment contained 653 boxes, 4 large pallets, and 21 pair of crutches. We were present when the container was locked in San Jose, and once again when it was opened in Lesotho, thereby assuring that all of the donated items arrived safely and secure.

The pictures on this page were taken when we opened the container and emptied the contents into a secure storage facility in Lesotho. Click the links at the top of this page to view the pictures of our distribution.
