Cemenco !!!!

Hello all

Well we have completed our first week and I have some exciting news to share with you.

We have received a donation of 500 bags of cement!!!! That is 55,000 lbs of cement that has a value of approximately $4000 US!!! The cement was donated be a local cement plant named Cemenco which is a division of Heidelberg Cement. Heidelberg is the company that recently bought the cement plant in Picton where I have worked for over 10 years. I have been corresponding with Mr Gaignard, the Plant Manager of Cemenco for a couple of months and on Monday we finally had a face to face meeting. Mr Gaignard was very interested in the project and very interested in helping the people of Liberia.  It was so nice to meet a Plant Manager with such a big heart. He granted our request for 500 bags of cement and asked us to keep in touch in case there was more ways in which he could help the project. This is far beyond any answer to my prayers that I could have imagined.  I must say a huge thank you to Cemenco, Mr Gaignard, and  to Dan Fritz the Senior Vice President of Heidelberg North America who put me in touch with Mr Gaignard and recommended that our project be supported.
