Mano a Mano’s 3 containers that were loaded with 79,545 pounds of donated medical supplies, mobility equipment, and other in-demand items at our St. Paul warehouse in April arrived at our Cochabamba warehouse yesterday morning! These supplies will now be unloaded and organized for distribution by Mano a Mano staff and volunteers to go to people and organizations in need throughout the country. This 1st shipment of 2024 is arriving in Bolivia as our 2nd shipment of the year will be starting its journey from Minnesota this week.
That container shown arriving in Bolivia in the video above yesterday, shown departing our Minnesota warehouse in April below:
Almost all of these supplies would have ended up in the landfill in Minnesota, and instead they are getting put to good use throughout Bolivia (we also provide supplies to organizations and individuals in the Twin Cities area). Most of these supplies are cost-prohibitive or unavailable at all in Bolivia, making them very helpful for people and organizations with limited resources. In 2023 we shipped 9 containers with 228,954 pounds from Minnesota to Bolivia.
