At 12:15 p.m., the truck with a 40′ container drove up to our premises: the long-prepared loading of a myriad of different donated goods for the Rural Youth Association in Wenchi / Ghana could begin. The donations, which had been organized by Ghana e.V. in Niedersächsische Landjugend, came from all over Lower Saxony.
Arbeit und Dritte Welt took care of the proper packing and loading and contributed a large number of carpentry and metalworking tools, drills, jigsaws and circular saws. In addition, a band saw, a mobile dust extraction unit, an industrial welding machine, a circular table saw and a planing machine as well as several treadle sewing machines, wheelchairs and walking frames. Finally, more than 70 rakes, hoes, shovels, grips and scythes. It is worth noting in this context that most of this equipment had been collected by our trade union colleagues in Sehnde and refurbished in our workshops.
Thorben Sumfleth and Sören Dress traveled all the way from the Kehdinger Land – with a freshly TÜV-approved car for the Rural Youth Assiciation in tow.
At 3:15 pm, the container was loaded with the donations that had previously been checked and approved by Hildesheim customs, sealed and set off on its onward journey to the free port in Hamburg.
We were very pleased to be able to carry out such a project with Ghana e.V. once again.
