December 2022: FIDESMA, Guatemala, Container #23

Dear David,

We want to inform you that we have the bikes at the FIDESMA Foundation. Because of problems at the shipping companies, we had some trouble getting the container out of the port. The companies resolved their problems and we finally got the container. We have unpacked it. Here is the inventory:

Description Quantity
Bicycles: mountain, BMX,
touring, and road bikes
455
Parts 23 bags:
helmets,
wheels, saddles,
tires, tubes,
pedals, baskets,
pumps, and various
other spare parts
Sewing machines 15
Plywood 9

We are now working to clean, lubricate, and repair the bikes. And we are working on the other activities we must do to make them ready to sell. The bikes will be ready to display in our shop in plenty of time for Christmas. Everything will be fine.

We at FIDESMA thank you for this shipment. We are sure that the people – adults, youths, and children – will be very grateful when we deliver the bicycles to their communities and they can use their bikes for work, sports, exercise, and travel, even travel to places far from home. Everyone thinks that it is a great benefit to be able to use a bicycle.
