Through the year HHI stores items for the container on an industrial park - provided rent free. Individauls and organisations hear about our work and contact us and arrange collection. You can see from these photographs, taken on 16th October, that weree well prepared for 26th October when a number of volunteers will transfered the items in storage onto a 40ft container. Mike Hopkin will perform his magic and will get most of these items into the container - starting with the priority things such as hospital equipment. Clothing is packed in boxes for stacking or plastic bags for stuffing into every conceivable space. The wheelchairs take a bit of thought and effort - have you tried stacking wheelchairs 10 feet high? Well, it gets done and last year we sent over 150 of them and this year looks to be no different. Take a look at the photos - they will give you a feel for the things we collect/store and the things that are greatly appreciated when they arrive in Zambia.

On one of the few sunny afternoons in August two of our dedicated supporters held a successful and very enjoyable garden party. Everybody enjoyed home made cakes, cream teas and tea/coffee and had the opportunity to buy from a stall selling all sorts! 

The Scouts are experiencing life in Zambia in many ways - meeting with local children and the disabled people who visit HHI in Monze; working on projects for a local community and a school and also taking part in a football match with the local Scouts. Here are the photographs recently received from Jute and together they give you a good view of what is happening out in Zambia.

The community has been busy preparing for their new hammer mill. They have made all the bricks and are ready to 'fire' them. They now have the firewood to do this and they have recently received the cement and timber they need - or rather the Strathaven Scouts need. They will soon travel out to Zambia and one of their projects is to build and install the hammer mill.
