Tohoku Trip 2 Post #6

This morning after the devotion Derick and I said our farewells to Jack, Jason and Joel as they left for meal serving at an evacuation center and headed off to the warehouse to pick up a power hose for the work in Ishinomaki.

The kit consists of the large yellow water container, two wheelbarrows,  a couple of shovels, a couple of brooms, a pry bar, the hose and spray attachments, several buckets and a generator to power everything up.  You can see Derick bringing  the kit for the work our teams will do.

We were given a quick run through of how the kit worked and the generator was fired up to ensure that all was working well.  It was very exciting to be able to receive such quality materials and all of them brand new.  Thank you so much, Samaritan’s Purse.

When I first saw the kit I had wondered if we would be able to get it all in the van or if we would need to use the roof rack.  However, as it turned out,  all of the equipment was able to stow easily in the back of our van.  Now it was off to Ishinomaki to put the equipment into service.

Here is a VERY grateful Mr. Kimura after having stored the equipment in his room.  I am so looking forward to testing it out some time soon and seeing many of our workers able to clean more spaces due to the ability to use such tools.
