Last week we had the pleasure of joining the Apergy Middle East / Asia Pacific team for a few hours to share information about Days for Girls and assist their team of 40 in packing 200 kits. Apergy has worked with DFG in the United States previously and wanted to share the DFG message here and arrange for kits to be sent to Yemen.
I am very grateful to Fouad Eid (VP EMEA) who instigated this collaboration and arranged for the components from DFG HQ to be shipped to Oman for this event.
In addition to the 200 kits from the US we added 100 HF kits that our team had made prior to the summer break and subsequent close of DFG Muscat.
At their leadership seminar we were able to share the wonderful work or DFG and our team and then join the Apergy staff in packing the kits. They were separated into teams, a little bit of competitiveness in the air to say the least, and then BAM off they went to work out the best and most efficient way to pack. Helen, Sharon, Ratna, Jane and I were all assigned one team and we stood back and let them do it their way ;-)
Apergy have partnered with Oman Charitable Organisation to deliver the 300 kits through to Yemen.
Thank you to WGO (Womens Guild Oman) who enabled us to finish our last kits before the summer, we appreciate your support.
And a HUGE thank you to all of our volunteers, together we made great things happen.
