It is because of the commitment of the U.S.Military,via the Denton Program,that humanitarian aid arrives in a timely manner throughout the world.

Yet before the military gets involved,there are many steps that take place.This process includes not only trucks and equipment,but also the commitment and dedication of individuals and whole companies.Let's take a recent shipment from origin to destination.

In British Columbia,Canada,Bob Carkner collected and packed almost 10,000 pounds of clothing,medical supplies and gifts for the Casa Guatemala orphanage.He found a motor carrier to transport the shipment in donated space to Toronto.Back in Youngstown,Kathy Price was coordinating arrival of the shipment at the MOL warehouse in Ravenna and securing Denton Project transportation to Guatemala.

All Freight arranged for receipt of the shipment,generated paperwork to place the shipment in bond for clearance through U.S. customs and transported the shipment to their Cleveland wharehouse --free of charge !

Once in Cleveland,the bond was transferred to Double J Trucking.The Cleveland office of the Danzas Corporation,an international freight forwarder,volunteered its time to handle the complex,time-comsuming paperwork.Kathy Price completed all the procedures necessary for Denton Program Military Air Transport.

Double J Trucking transported the shipment to Wright Patterson Airforce Base in Dayton,Ohio.The Ohio National Guard supplied six trucks for transportation of additional donations and building supplies from ravenna.They all had to arrive several days prior to flight time to be secured on pallets and loaded onto the C5 transport plane.thanks to the U.S.Airforce all supplies would be waiting when MOL volunteers arrive at Casa Guatemala to do the work.

The Cleveland office of Panelpina,an international freight forwarder with worldwide offices,made another transport contribution.Through the Panelpina office in Guatemala City they arranged for the in-country purchase of 90 gallons of paint and transported it to the orphanage.

MOL would like to thank these special organizations for lending a hand in helping to achieve a greater good for the children of Casa Guatemala.
